Project Fulfill Art Space is pleased to announce the up-coming exhibition "BAGAHE- Excess Baggage" by Philippine Artist Don Salyubayba, an awardee of the Thirteen Artists Award The exhibition will be a collection of 6 paintings, 3 sculptures and 2 moving images exploring the idea of carrying things beyond our bodies, an extension of oneself beyond the skin.
"BAGAHE", a Filipino word for Baggage - a representation of one's extension. We carry different things - things we need. things we think we need and things we do not need. Sometimes we carry things that we are asked to carry as a favor or as duty. Baggage also suggests a person's burden, an unfinished business or an extra weight in ones life. A baggage can also represent things that encumber one's freedom, progress, development, or adaptability, such as emotional, Psychological. Cultural ones. The exhibition attempts to explore this idea in different point of views - as an individual with the his own baggage, another person's experience and collected stories. The idea is also intended to explore the historical and cultural points of view as a Filipino and include history in parallel to current events.
"note: The Thirteen Artists Awards, since 1970. a triennial program of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), nurtures and promotes artistic excellence by recognizing progressive and innovative art. It is in honor of the pioneering group of the 13 Moderns in Philippine art.
