Co returns to Conrad Manila with a new solo exhibition of kinetic sculptures that encourage guests to reflect on the uncertainty and possibilities of the future.

Conrad Manila unveils the 41st installment of its highly acclaimed Of Art and Wine series with Harbinger Metropolis by Ivan Co, now on exhibit at Gallery C until July 25, 2026. Featuring 10 visually compelling and thought-provoking kinetic sculptures, expertly curated by resident curator Nestor Jardin, this latest exhibition offers a powerful meditation on the accelerating pace of progress, and the choices humanity faces on the threshold of an unpredictable future.

“Ivan Co’s works are a compelling centerpiece to the celebration of Conrad Manila’s 10th anniversary this June,” said Rupert Hallam, General Manager of Conrad Manila. “Magnificent in form and profound in meaning, the collection invites guests to reflect on both the uncertainty and the boundless possibilities of what lies ahead. It seamlessly aligns with the hotel’s commitment to providing meaningful and enriching experiences.”

Harbinger Metropolis showcases 10 meticulously crafted automaton, gravitram, and pendulum sculptures adorned with semi-precious gemstones. Through these dynamic works, Co depicts a world in constant motion, alluding to the transformative shifts already underway. Rather than offering definitive answers, the collection sparks curiosity and encourages viewers to contemplate the evolving landscape shaped by rapid technological advancement.

 “The intricate gears of the automaton, the relentless journey of the gravitram, and the hypnotic swing of the pendulum all serve as harbingers, which are symbols of the accelerating change that will inevitably reshape our urban landscapes and our very existence,” featured artist Ivan Co shared. “Through this collection, I invite all viewers to confront the precipice of a new era, where the boundaries between utopia and dystopia blur into an uncertain horizon,” he added.

“The intricate gears of the automaton, the relentless journey of the gravitram, and the hypnotic swing of the pendulum serve as harbingers, symbols of accelerating change that will inevitably reshape our urban landscapes and our very existence,” shared featured artist Ivan Co. “Through this collection, I invite viewers to stand at the precipice of a new era, where the boundaries between utopia and dystopia dissolve into an uncertain horizon.”

The exhibit’s opening ceremony was attended by distinguished guests, including Elizabeth Sy, President of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation (SMHCC); Peggy Angeles, Executive Vice President of SMHCC; Rupert Hallam, Conrad Manila General Manager, and featured artist Ivan Co.

All artworks on display at Gallery C are available for acquisition. For inquiries and more information, guests and art collectors may contact (+632) 8833-9999 or email Conrad.Manila.info@conradhotels.com.

About the artist

Ivan Co is an artificer of the unseen. Working from a private atelier in Manila, he channels years of technical mastery into kinetic sculptures that appear to breathe with a life of their own. His practice is defined by a disciplined, almost reclusive dedication to the manual calibration of metal and stone, an exploration of “Ancestral Futurism,” where mechanical form attains a sense of permanence and vitality.

Co was the sole Filipino featured in The Official Platinum Jubilee Edition publication commemorating Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign in 2022. He was also recognized by The Rolls-Royce and Bentley Club of London for a second time as one of the world’s most promising artists, featured in the 2024 commemorative volume Strive for Perfection: Celebrating 20 Years of Goodwood, authored by award-winning writers. Produced by St. James’s House, the publication highlights global leaders in innovation and sustainable luxury shaping the future. Robert Jobson, award-winning author and biographer of the British royal family, writes: “Ivan’s kinetic artworks, informed by his profound understanding of movement and depth, are truly exceptional. These bejeweled works of wonder, crafted from handwrought precious metals and semi-precious stones, move with their own rhythm. With scientific precision, employing pendulums, axles, and intricate balancing points, each piece becomes a mesmerizing sculpture in motion.”

Committed to elevating gastronomic experiences, the luxury hotel by the iconic Manila Bay welcomes new leaders set to introduce fresh and innovative dining concepts.

Conrad Manila is delighted to welcome distinguished additions to its culinary leadership team: Vikram Singh as Indian Chef and Jaquelyn Sunderarajo as Director of Food and Beverage. With their extensive experience and refined expertise, guests can anticipate elevated offerings and thoughtfully curated culinary experiences across the hotel’s signature dining venues.

“It is with great pleasure that we welcome new reinforcements to the culinary powerhouse of Conrad Manila,” said Rupert Hallam, general manager of the hotel. “We began the year with exceptional dining experiences, and guests can look forward to even more remarkable moments in the months ahead, especially as we celebrate our 10th anniversary, with Jaquelyn’s strategic direction and Chef Vikram’s passion for authentic cuisine.”

Sunderarajo brings with her over 15 years of experience in luxury hospitality, having held leadership roles across some of Singapore’s most well-known hotel brands. Prior to joining Conrad Manila, she led one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most complex food and beverage operations at Hilton Singapore Orchard. She is recognized for driving guest satisfaction, delivering strong commercial performance, and fostering high-performing teams, alongside introducing innovative and compelling dining concepts.

Singh, meanwhile, offers a uniquely inspiring journey into the culinary arts, having spent nearly two decades in the corporate world before pursuing his true passion. Guided by his mother’s culinary heritage, he undertook formal training in international cuisine before deepening his expertise in North Indian gastronomy under her mentorship, continuing a rich family legacy. Today, he is dedicated to showcasing traditional and often lesser-known North Indian cuisines, such as mughlai and awadhi, while preserving their authenticity through the thoughtful use of seasonal ingredients.

Together with Conrad Manila’s Executive Chef and its award-winning culinary team, they have already begun introducing exceptional dining concepts that continue to captivate epicureans and hotel guests alike.

Presented at Gallery C in collaboration with Art Lounge Manila, the new exhibition explores women’s resilience and beauty through 20 mixed-media works that reflect the strength found in imperfection.

Conrad Manila, in collaboration with the Art Lounge Manila, proudly launches the 40th edition of its celebrated Of Art and Wine series “Creases,” a compelling new exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Meneline Wong, M.D., now on view at Gallery C. Curated by acclaimed art expert Nestor Jardin, the collection features 20 mixed-media works that explore themes of women’s resilience, growth, and the enduring strength shaped from life’s imperfections and experiences.

“Conrad Manila, shaped by Hilton’s culture of empowerment and inclusivity, recognizes the remarkable contributions and impact of every woman across our business and in every sector, including the arts,” said Rupert Hallam, General Manager of Conrad Manila. “Through this latest installation, we invite our guests and patrons to experience a thoughtful tribute to the vulnerabilities and imperfections that ultimately give women their depth, character, and enduring beauty.”

“Creases” features 20 mixed-media paintings, each reflecting the enduring strength and quiet courage of women. Through layered textures and expressive forms, the artworks suggest that the “creases” running through each piece are not flaws, but symbols of the struggles, sacrifices, and silent battles carried with grace.

Meneline Wong shared, “If we focus only on the creases, just as society often fixates on women’s supposed imperfections, we miss the fullness of the story. But when we step back, we see that these very creases give the artwork its character and beauty. In the same way, a woman’s beauty does not lie in perfection, but in the courage to rise through adversity. The creases don’t diminish her, they define her.”

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was graced by esteemed guests, including Peggy Angeles, Executive Vice President of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation; Susanne Tiausus, Guest of Honor and Managing Director of Art Lounge Manila; Alyssa Valdez, Guest of Honor; Rupert Hallam, Conrad Manila’s General Manager, and featured artist Meneline Wong.

All artworks are available for acquisition. For inquiries and more information, guests and art collectors may contact (+632) 8833-9999 or email Conrad.Manila.info@conradhotels.com.
