Lirio was not able to attend the exhibit opening because he’s still confined in the intensive care unit of a hospital. He was a victim of a motorcycle hit-and-run on December 30 in front of his art space in Dasmarinas, Cavite.
Aside from our group, sound artist Erick Calilan, Lakbay Lahi and Elemento (the experimental sound group founded by Lirio Salvador) also performed during the exhibit opening.

The highlight of the event was the performance by Elemento with Ma'am Mean Salvador, wife of Lirio Salvador. She read a personal poem for Lirio.
Lirio Salvador's exhibit was featured on Philippine Star on January 23. Wilson Lee Flores wrote an article which you can read here. You can also read the essay written by Patrick Flores through the said article.
