'LIVE THE CITY' URBAN MEDIA PROJECT
Organised by Goethe-Institut Thailand, BACC Exhibition Dept., and Connecting Cities Network
7 - 28 June 2016
Venue: Siam Center, BACC, and Goethe-Institut Thailand

Opening event on Tuesday 7 June 2016, at 14.00 at Auditorium, 5th floor, BACC

LIVE THE CITY explores how to embed digital art in the urban context and how urban digital art contributes to shaping
neighborhoods, networking citizens and creating platforms for visualizing science and technologies. Especially in Bangkok where
a massive growth of media infrastructures and permanent digital advertisements are increasingly defining the urban experience.
In times of digital communication and smart cities, the communicative potential of the public space is reinterpreted in manifold
ways. Urban media environments connect physical space with the digital world and encourages city inhabitants to actively and
conjointly reshape the urban space.

Artists: Jun Ong, Nithiphat Hoisangthog Ekapob Suksudpaisarn, Pannathorn Eawsivigoon & Sutinee Prongmake

Shifting Horizons: music, myth, and memory.
The media art of John Sanborn
Organised by BACC Exhibition Department
25 March - 10 July 2016
Main Gallery, 7th floor

John Sanborn was a key member of the second wave of American video artists that
included Bill Viola, Gary Hill, Dara Birnbaum, and Tony Oursler. And though much of his early
works were shown in celebrated institutions, from the Whitney and MoMA in NYC, to the
Pompidou Center in Paris, his career embraced a fuller media journey that would take him inside broadcast television, to Hollywood, and to Silicon Valley. This exhibition marks the manner of this return, looking to music, the foundation, the pattern for his distinctive use
of media formalism; it conjures up issues of myth and reinvention, as media remain an ever-changing medium; finally it acknowledges Sanborn’s role in performance and performative collaborations with major 20th century dancers and performers, settling the bond between him and his mentor, Nam June Paik.

Artists: John Sanborn

Curator: Stephen Sarrazin

Omnivoyeur and Electrical Walks
Bangkok Electromagnetic Sound and Visual Project
1 April - 10 July 2016
Main Gallery, 7th floor

Organised as part of Urban Media Project by Goethe - Institut
Thailand, BACC Exhibition Dept., Connecting Cities Network in Berlin

In the phenomenon of the absence and presence communicates through the works of
two artists, a renowned German sound artist Christina Kubisch and a Thai Photographer,
Miti Ruangkritya investigate the urban landscape like Bangkok. The electromagnetic walk
of Christina Kubisch guides viewer through city with map and custom-made headphone catching magnetic sound that are inaudible to naked ears, while field-recorded images
of Miti Ruangkritya prolonging perceptibility of mundane living, marking reflective thoughts
from the omnipresent of media in our increasingly technological environment. Both
expressions are synthesized in an exhibition space by means of commontime and space
as well as the abstract energy that interchange to allow for new aesthetic and experience
while retaining its core essence. The title "Omnivoyeur" is a psychoanalytical concept
"I see only from one point but my existence is looked at from all sides" of Jacques Lacan,
employing as a base to offer a reverse in thought and action through the artworks where
the passiveaudience is encouraged to become an active investigator to perceive both
politics and poetic of media hidden in our urban surrounding.

Artists: Christina Kubisch and Miti Ruangkritya

Guest Curator: Pichaya Aime Suphavanij

Mind-Desire
By Suwon Chumphon and Panom Changnanork
1 - 29 June 2016
People's Gallery P1-P2, 2nd floor, artHUB@bacc

Human is the only living thing on earth with the ability of the mind with unlimited potential
to create formations of idea in response to one’s desire. This state of mind is deceptive
and can only be recognised emotionally. Desire that rises from the awareness and physical
perception through body senses, rouses and persuades the instability of the mind.

Simply Nature
By Thanan Klintapaneeyakul
2 - 29 June 2016
People's Gallery P3, 2nd floor, artHUB@bacc

Human is united with nature. Nature teaches us to see both the truth and peace of mind.
Let us understand and see it clearly. At least nature will give aesthetics and human soul
to you.

The second screening on Saturday 23 July 2016 is a US film, Nebraska (2013) with
a post screening talk with Wanweaw and Weawwan Hongvivatana, the twin sisters
who are writers, scriptwriters and independent directors of a documentary, 'Wish Us Luck'
which documented their journey back home to Thailand from England by train.

"We really like the dark and depressing atmosphere at the beginning of Nebraska.
It seems like the film will be about this heartless and dysfunctional family, which it is but
it is also filled with warmth and real emotion that brings a smile to your face at the same
time. The bitter-sweetness of the film is highlighted with the poetic black and white cinematography" Wanweaw and Weawwan Hongvivatana
