The Ayala Foundation, the social development arm of the Phillippines largest conglomerate, announced Wednesday that it has named Reuben Keehan as the incoming artistic director for Kontempo, a new contemporary art space scheduled to open in Manila.

Designed by Kulapat Yantrasat, founder of WHY Architecture and architect of the new Rockefeller Wing at the Met, Kontempo will consist of over 26,000 square feet of exhibition space across three galleries. There will also be nearly four acres of open green space to be developed for sculptures, art installations, and gardens. It will be located in Circuit Makati, a riverfront area under extensive redevelopment by the Ayala Land corporation; once finished it will include a shopping mall, theater, hotels, skyscrapers, and outdoor sporting facilities.
