Ringo Bunoan is a Filipino artist, curator, research and writer based in Manila, Philippines. She is known for her conceptual approach, working across media in installation, sound, video, bookworks[1] and writing. She earned her bachelor's degree in Art History from the University of the Philippines, Dillman. Her works have been shown in galleries, museums and alternative art spaces in Manila, across Asia and the Pacific and USA including Center for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne[2], 4th Gwangju Biennale, Singapore Art Museum, Busan Biennale Sea Art Festival, Asian Art Museum, Walter McBean Galleries in San Francisco and Redcat Gallery in Los Angeles, USA and Campbelltown Arts Centre, Sydney.

In 1999 Bunoan co-founded Big Sky Mind, an independent art space located in Cubao, Quezon City, a gallery and café that she ran with collaborator Katya Guerrero from 1999 to 2001 before it became a space for artists’ projects until 2004. Big Sky Mind was part of the second generation of artist-run spaces founded in Manila.[3] The goal of the centre was to create awareness about contemporary Filipino art on both a local and global scale, and to provide young artists with working studios and other support facilities that enabled them to produce and develop their work.[4] Bunoan and Guerrero later went on to co-found Artbooks.ph, an independent bookstore that focuses on Philippine art.[5]

From 2007 to 2013, Bunoan was active as a researcher in residence for the Asia Art Archive, specializing on Filipino artist-run spaces and the work of Roberto Chabet.[6]

Her solo exhibitions include In Advance of the Things We Cannot See at Mo_space in 2012; Archiving Roberto Chabet at the Jorge Vargas Museum in 2009; Pillow Talk at Silverlens Gallery in 2008; and Little Deaths at Mo_space in 2008.

Awards

She was the recipient of Cultural Center of the Philippines' 2003 Thirteen Artists Award and Silverlens' Foundation 2007 Completion Grant[7], and was shortlisted for the 2009 Ateneo Art Awards.

Curatorial Work

In 2016 Bunoan curated the Marker program of the Art Dubai contemporary Art Fair, focusing on artist-run culture in the Philippines.[8][9][10] In 2018, Bunoan was chief curator of the inaugural Manila Biennial, which took place in Intramuros, and ran from February 3rd to March 5, 2018.[11][12] She curated OPENCITY, a site-specific exhibition, and worked with co-curators Con Cabrera, Cocoy Lumbao, Matthew Lopez, and Monchito Nocon.
