"Bang! Fully-Loaded" is a group art show showcasing the talents of contemporary artists of different genres and disciplines to dissect, deconstruct, reconstruct, and reclaim the idea of the "Barrelman." Some of the artists are each given a Barrelman to be used at their "blank canvas."



The Barrelman is most hated and loved folk art wooden statuette in the Philippines , in which when the barrel is lifted, a happy tribesman expresses it self by a phallic protrusion. Though many find the Barrelman offensive, sexist, and derogatory to the tribal people of the islands, others find it lovable, comical, and light-hearted and it is still popular among the tourists and the locals through out the years.





In addition to the modified Barrelmen exhibited, there will be small bodies of work and installation presented by the featured artists, which disciplines range from painting, sculpting, photography, graffiti, graphic design, fashion design, "chocolatier"-ing and hot rod customization (yes, you read right.)



"Bang! Fully Loaded" is part of a series of art shows at Remy's on Temple leading up to a travelling Smithsonian show called "Singgalot: The Ties that Bind, Filipinos in America", August-October 2008. in which the Barrelmen will be carried over to the auxiliary gallery.
