For ten years (beginning in 2004) King Mongkut's Institute of Technology, Faculty of Architecture, Fine Art Department, in conjunction with nine Thai art institutes, has collaborated with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (Austria) and the Academy
of Media Art Cologne (Germany) to present a collection of ‘Video Art’ to the Thai public. Video Art melds computer engineering
and fine art techniques to pro-duce art work reflecting life in an increasingly technological society. In Thailand, Video Art and
its emphasis on technology has not yet been widely presented. Science technology is nowadays an important area of study
in the Arts. The Experimental Video Art Exhibition is a project that extends knowledge of new media for students of Art and
the general public through organized video screenings at various universities in Thailand. We are confident that the cooperation among Thai and international artists will help to improve Fine Art education in Thailand. The purpose of this annual project is to showcase a diverse international group of artists at the univer-sity level who work in Video Art. The exhibition will allow interaction leading to new methods of prac-tice, discussion of art theory and the global influence of new media on social behavior, perception and artistic expression. We have invited Thai artists as well as artists from Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, England
and other countries. Each artist’s style and individual work process contributes to the diversity of the exhibition providing insights
into their cultures, customs, personal interests and seminal social issues affecting them. Additionally, we will focus on building
academic partnerships within Thailand as well as establishing academic exchange programs with foreign universities and institutes.

This year the exhibition will be shown at the 9 participating Thai art institutes as well as the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre.

People's Gallery P1-P2, 2nd floor, artHUB@bacc
Opening reception: 3 July 2014 at 18.00 hrs.

Today, Trends from foreign countries have influenced the lives of many people, for example,
how they use cosmetic to do make-up and use accessories to decorate their body for good
looking and modern style they cannot get it rid of this decoration from their daily life living.
Moreover , various medias intend to present about plastic surgery and service in the beauty
clinics in various ways that attract some groups of people. By consuming too much media we
start to forget the truth of human body. We learn to hide , repairs , and rehabilitate our
body to achieve beauty. These are new attitudes of today’s people. We concern too much
about the appearances and cannot accept the real identity.

Cinema Diverse: Director's Choice
By BACC Arts Activity Department
Saturday 19 July 2014 at 16.30 – 21.30 hrs.
Auditorium, 5th Floor

Bangkok Art and Culture Centre proudly presents “Cinema Diverse: Director's Choice”. For the second Cinema Diverse, five international films, selected by five acclaimed Thai directors, will be shown bi-monthly from November 2013 – September 2014, followed by a talk with the director after each screening. The screening on Saturday 19 July 2014 is a Czech film, Autumn Spring (2001) directed by Vladimir Michalek and chosen by Jira Maligool, a renowned Thai director of The Tin Mine, Mekhong Full Moon Party and Seven Something
(Episode 42.195).

A wry, bittersweet comedy in the classic Czech tradition, Vladimir Michalek’s Autumn Spring stars the great Vlastimil Brodsky (Closely Watched Trains, Jacob the Liar) as Fanda, a terminal prankster who refuses to grow up and face responsibility. Despite constant pleas from his wife and son, who want him to make some serious decisions about the future, Fanda ignores their nagging and spends his days seeking amusement and adventure. Aided and abetted by his longtime pal and former theatre colleague Eda, Fanda keeps his acting skills sharpened by pretending to be a host of fascinating characters. Although Fanda bickers constantly with his wife, their bond is palpable – even if life with Fanda is frustrating, deep down she knows that at least it is never boring. The couple soon realizes, however, that maybe Fanda is right – instead of old age being a time to take on worries, perhaps it is the time to shed them and live each day to the fullest.

With Autumn Spring, Vladimir Michalek has created a delightfully subtle, moving comedy about age, marriage, friendship and the art of living. It marks the final performance of renowned Czech actor Brodský, who committed suicide shortly after the film was made. Autumn Spring won 4 Czech Lion awards in 2001 (Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenplay), Best Film at Cleveland International Film Festival 2002, Audience Choice Award at St. Louis International Film Festival 2002, and has been shown at many festivals throughout the world.

After the screening there will be a talk about the film with Jira Maligool and Witthaya Thonyuyong, a famous Thai director.

Free entry / No reservation needed
*With Thai and English subtitles
*Film screening starts at 17.30 hrs.
