CROSSING THE DATELINE
Organised by Bangkok Art and Culture Centre
BACC Project Sponsors by King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, ​IQ LAB,
Mondriaan Fund and The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Inc.
16 March - 4 June 2017
Main Gallery, 9th floor

Opening Ceremony on Thursday 23 March 2017 at 18.30 hrs.

Bangkok Art and Culture Centre and the group of intermediate artists together foster a contemporary art exhibition which
crosses the boundary of space, time and culture in order to challenge audience experience.

Pertaining to the concept of time and travelling - flying eight hours on an airplane that reaches cruising speeds of 920 kilometers
per hour, time will be ten nanoseconds slower (due to an inertial frame of reference). Time dilation is everyone’s daily experience.
Time would slow down or get faster in relation to time in mind. Todays, people’s devious and distorted perception of time is
socially constructed caused by current mode of communication.

Personal awareness of time is tainted by the given perception and distorted mode of communication that is constructed. Human
understanding is shifted from reality-based interpretation to autonomous association that gave birth to the truth examiner so
truth-illusion-virtual time-virtual reality is recalibrated. To transcend the boundary of time, perception, belief, even society is
necessary for ones to understand current incidents. Crossing has rendered the binary condition: before and after, old and new,
similar and dissimilar, convincing and unconvincing. An in-between situation is arising during such crossing. This in-between
condition occurs when one falters between accepting and opposing to prior understanding.

Artists: Carol Hepper (USA), Nelleke Beltjens (Netherlands / USA), Hedwig Brouckaert (Belgium / USA), Suparirk Kanitwaranun (Thailand), Pasutt Kanrattanasutra (Thailand), Komson Knookiew (Thailand), Bussayamas Nandawan (Thailand), Panu Suaysuwan (Thailand), Pitiwat Somthai in collaboration and Vanida Pornsombatpaiboon (Thailand)

Sebastião Salgado
The World Through His Eyes
Organised by The Royal Photographic Society of Thailand
and Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, in collaboration
with Sundaram Tagore Gallery
8 February - 8 March 2017
Main Gallery, 8th floor

Sebastião Salgado is one of the word’s greatest living photographers. In the past three
decades, he has traveled to more than 100 countries for his photographic projects.
Breaking down barriers, he lives with his subjects for weeks, immersing himself in their
environments. He sees himself as a participant entering their story. Within a single
frame, he captures the fragility and the fortitude of the human spirit.

For his first major exhibition in Thailand, the photographer presents iconic black-and-
white images from his most influential series: Workers (1986-1992), Exodus (1993 - 1999)
and Genesis (2004 - 2011). A portfolio of of 20 prints titled Other Americas will also be
on view. From hauntingly beautiful images of disappearing landscapes to scenes
chronicling the mass displacement of people across the globe, each of his works is
infused with empathy and respect.

Sebastião Salgado has been awarded numerous prominent photographic prizes in
recognition of his accomplishments. He is a UNICEFGoodwill Ambassador, and among
other distinctions, an honorary member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in the USA.
Touring exhibitions of this work have been, and continue to be, presented in museums throughout the world. In 2013 the book De ma terre à la Terre (From my land to the
planet), a narrative account of Salgado’s life and career, was published, and in 2014,
the documentary film The Salt of the Earth, directed by Wim Wenders and Juliano
Ribeiro Salgado was released.

Silent Stones and Street Mediations
By Ron Janowich
1 - 26 March 2017
People's Gallery P1, 2nd floor, artHUB@bacc

The photographs in this exhibition are from the time I spent living in Chiang Mai, during
2015 and 2016. I had appreciated the most profound of multiple cultures and coexisting
in relative peace. Every day, I would take long walks within my upscale village on the
outskirts of the old city center. I noticed a group of ground keepers and street workers
who maintained the village. They worked long hours yet maintained their dignity. For the
workers depicted, they still have never ended the daily basic cost struggling. The Urbana
0 series are composite portraits of workers who work on village’s security. The Silent
Stones series are my memory reflections and meditations of various workers, past and
present, unnamed and forgotten. The third series, Centralfest, I had brought the workers
to a modern shopping mall where they are left observing in the abundance of expensive
consumer good, but not participating. My hope is that you will view these photographs
and feel a deeper empathy for the workers. These photographs honor their life and
struggles. All photographs are dye transfer on metal made in 2016

Opening Ceremony on Thursday 30 March 2017, at 18.30 hrs.

As a part of The "Condition Report", a collaborative art project with curators from Japan
and Southeast Asian Countries with the objectives to incubate young curators through
working in collaboration with senior curators panning projects across the region. The last exhibition by senior curators is in Bangkok under the title of "Mode of Liaisons", a concept
that is rooted from biological standpoint employing the works of art from the senior
curators’ previous selections in other cities, stemming out with the new artworks selected
to reach the conceptual whole. Mode of Liaisons aims to look at the meaning which is not
only embedded in the artworks, but also the ecosystem in which the artworks are vitalized.
This concept views a work of art as a living organism with appendages that move and
adapt the meaning of its existence. Moreover, it aims to explore the essence hidden in
the point of interaction between networks of each different works which can be led to
the exploration of further meaningful relationships.
