Title: Art and anthropology: Portrait of the object as Filipino
Abstract: In this chapter, the author provides the background and personal reflections on the project Art and Anthropology: Portrait of the Object as Filipino, concentrating on this intersection between art and anthropology with a goal of enacting the creation of meaning or knowledge by re-engaging with ethnographic objects. After consultation with the Philippine Consulate General in Chicago, the project team, consisting of Field Museum staff, decided that choosing a non-governmental institution as the Philippine partner would be most efficient way to complete the project. A Facebook page was created to serve as a forum for dialogue among the artists. However, it soon became apparent that contributions to the Facebook page would be unequal and intermittent. Prior to the arrival of the Chicago artists in the Philippines, Jason Jacobe Moss and Emmanuel Robles Garibay started work on the painting. Each artist was to paint a certain number of artifacts, and they were to select photographs as guides for these realistic renditions.
