Vinyl on Vinyl in Makati: Explore Art That Pushes Boundaries
Makati’s art scene offers plenty to explore, but for those looking for something beyond traditional paintings and familiar gallery formats, Vinyl on Vinyl presents a different side of contemporary Philippine art.
Established in 2009, Vinyl on Vinyl was created to give artists a space to showcase and explore works outside conventional art forms. What began as an effort to bring greater attention to what was then considered underground culture has grown into a gallery known for championing experimentation, emerging genres, and artists willing to test the boundaries of what art can be.

Its name traces back to the gallery’s beginnings in vinyl records and art toys, while its musical roots continue to surface through occasional sound art included in its programming.

Over the years, Vinyl on Vinyl has developed a distinctive roster of artistic practices spanning pop surrealism, after-modernism, post-internet art, kinetic art, underground art, and street art, along with creative movements that may not yet fit neatly into a category.

Visitors may encounter artworks created through unconventional approaches, from damaged and repurposed canvases and manipulated video and photography to soft sculptures, large-scale origami forms, and even social media used as performance art. This openness to experimentation has allowed the gallery to become a platform where artists can take risks, explore new techniques, and introduce audiences to different ways of experiencing art.
