Omnivoyeur and Electrical Walks
Bangkok Electromagnetic Sound and Visual Project
Organised as part of Urban Media Project by Goethe - Institut
Thailand, BACC Exhibition Dept., Connecting Cities Network in Berlin
1 April - 4 September 2016
Main Gallery, 7th floor

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

Concept Context Contestation: art and the collective in
Southeast Asia (Jogjakarta, INDONESIA) Traveling Project
Organised by Exhibition Department, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, Cemeti Art House, Kedai Kebun Forum, and Ruang MES 56
Supported by Langgeng Art Foundation,
and National Arts Council, Singapore

Public educational Forum, Southeast Asian Art
at Kedai Kebun Forum: 21 - 22 August 2016, at 16.00 - 22.00 hrs.

In conjunction with the CCC Jogja vernissage, a Southeast Asian Art public educational
forum aims to build on the main exhibition premise, the idea that Southeast Asian art
ofthe late twentieth century has developed conceptual approaches sourced in local conditions, among others. This premise, unpicked in various ways via forum topics, in the
context of the Jogjakarta exhibition site, is being scrutinized through an Indonesian lens.
The overarching concern of the forum is Southeast Asian art, so early Indonesian
contemporary art, namely that of the New Art Movement (GSRB), is being connected
to regional practices beyond Indonesia, as well as beyond GSRB's 1970s inception period.

Forum participants: Jim Supangkat, Wulan Dirgantoro, Amanda Rath, Valentine Willie,
Hendro Wiyanto, Paul Khoo, Agung Kurniawan, Thomas Berghuis, Farah Wardani, Natalia
Kraevskaia, Jeffrey Say, Alia Swastika, and curators, artists

Unseen Siam
Early Photography 1860 - 1910
Organised by BACC Exhibition Department and River Books
BACC Project Sponsors: The Crown Property Bureau,
The Royal Photographic Society of Thailand,
Thai Beverage Public Company Limited
and Thai Airways International Public Company Limited
8 September - 7 November 2016
Main Gallery, 9th floor

Press Conference on Thursday 18 August 2016 at 14.30 hrs.

The first photography exhibition in Thailand features more than 150 old Siamese
photographs from the very first beginning until the end of the reign of King
Chulalongkorn, the fifth monarch of Siam. The original negatives of these photographs
are kept in the foreign country’s archive. They were taken by foreign photographers
and Thais who were later appointed Siamese court photographers. These archaic
photographs which have never been seen would bring various historical aspects to
light - whether portrait photography of King Mongkut of Siam, King Chulalongkorn,
nobles and commoners; architectures and landscapes of the past hundred years;
chronicled events and royal ceremonies; citified and provincial life; traditional dance,
Khon (a masked performance), and Likay (dramatic performance). Every photograph
has become the connection to the works of contemporary artists who would capture
the metropolis’ social- economic particularities, her ongoing changes, along with her
people’s way of life, land and water transportation. Contemporary performance and
key technology of photography will encourage culture of history, pave way for further
interpretation and sustain the life of these photographs.

Photographers: Abbé Larnaudie, Fedor Jagor, Pierre Rossier, Carl Bismark, Francis Chit,
John Thomson Henry Schuren, Gustave Richard Lambert, Max Martin, William Kennett
