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 lastexhibition 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 inthe 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 pointof interaction between networks of each different works which can
be led to the exploration of further meaningful relationships.

"What Do You Mean" is the project about creating the closeness and the cooperation
with audiences. In this project, some statuses in the art society of viewers are not
necessary, it is not significant you are artist or not, because art is necessary for everyone.
However, the value of art as the same as the high- end thing or the something in the
utopia, which some audiences could not touch is not important. The reason is everyone
has their own freedom and power for creating. As a result, the project would like to
create the space for creating by making the system of disseminated artworks in the
creative goods shop form. The Mafia Table, which is located in the area of Living Room
Parking Project. In Bangkok (2017) by Roslisham Ismail (aka Ise) at Mode of Liaisons,
8th floor, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, will be a middleman for imitating the system
by opening the space and giving an opportunity to everyone. People, who are interested
in the project, could sent their works, the project could accept any techniques or any
forms. For example, digital files or physical objects. However, if you would like to send
the digital files, you could send them via online system or if you would like to send the
physical objects, you should send them to the Mafia Table space by yourself and then
register at the space.

In addition, in the Mafia Table space will have a factory for making creative objects.
You could create some artworks by choosing some pictures of masterpieces from world-
class artists, which you favor. Then, when your creation process finishes, you could
register with Mafia Table’s staffs and display your works on the project’s shelves. After
that, audiences could buy the artworks on the shelves with the price, which viewers
would like to pay. Furthermore, the project will have a big activity, which is End of
Season Sale. The activity is the last day of open call for artworks. It will happen
between 10 and 11 June 2017 at The Mafia Table.

​The event is​ ​a part o​f​ Living Room Parking Project​ ​(2017)​ ​by​ ​Roslisham Ismail (aka Ise)
in collaboration. As part of Mode of Liaisons Exhibition organize by Bangkok Art and
Culture Centre and the Japan Foundation Asia Center​.​

CROSSING THE DATELINE
Organised by Bangkok Art and Culture Centre
Project Sponsors by King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, ​IQ LAB,
Mondriaan Fund and The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Inc.
16 March - 30 July 2017
Main Gallery, 9th floor

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 duringsuch 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

Hotel Art Fair Bangkok 2017
At Room No.506, 5th Floor, Volve Hotel, Sukhumvit 53

EARLY YEARS PROJECT @ Hotel Art Fair is the special project that aims to present the artistsง work developing from the Early
Years Project 2016 initiated by BACC Exhibition Department. The objective of this project is to encourage the development
of the young artists’ work and also to foster the collaboration between private and business sectors in promoting young artists.

This special project presents the work of Komkrit Tepthian - one of artists of the project. By applying iconography, Komkrit's
sculpture and site-specific installation deals with interrelationship of space, people, beliefs, memories, and superimposing historical
events that reside in Thonglor area where the project is hosted. The work would conceptually take audience back to the past
with the narrative of the current social context and space-based imagination to speculate upon the future.

Artist: Komkrit Tepthian

Curator: Narongsak Nilkhet

The Portrait of the King Bhumibol Adulyadej

The portrait of the late King Bhumibol is another part of the project "In Remembrance of H.M. King Bhumibol : The Supreme Artist" organized by Bangkok Art and Culture Centre Foundation and curated by Prof. Dr. Apinan Poshayananda, a member of the BACC Foundation Board, in order to pay tribute to the Supreme Artist, the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

The portrait, on the wall of the BACC facing Rama I Road, was designed to refer back
with the graffiti works on the BACC centre wall facing the Patumwan intersection, in
which the five graffiti characters offer gestures of reverence to the late king.

The portrait, measuring 34 metres by 25 metres or 850 sqm., was made with the
wheat- pasting technique with the collaboration between a group of street artists,
and art students from five art institutions : King Mongkut Institute of Technology Lat
Krabang, Poh Chang Academy of Arts, Rajamangala University of Technology Rattanakosin,
Chang Silp (College of Fine Arts), Silpakorn University and Rajamangala University of
Technology Thanyaburi. The students had earlier made the portrait out of 39 panels
before they were put up on the wall. This is the world’s largest portrait of the monarch
by wheat-pasting technique.

Not Relaxing Aesthetics
By Aphiphol Techamangkhalanon
1 - 25 June 2017
People's Gallery P3, 2nd floor, artHUB@bacc

Among the contradiction of the old tradition and new one which cannot be separated,
the phenomenon of social and cultural aesthetics is occurred to express not only the
aspect of beauty, but also emotion and feeling expanding to other aesthetics such as
grief, marvelousness, pressure and stress.They are interpreted in the aspect of beauty,
while the artist aims to show the content and story of change in society in order to
reflect artistic issues on diverse and different condition. It also reflects the relationship
between the old culture about Buddhist wisdom inside mind and the new culture about
outside response on materialistic need in the present.
