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.

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

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.

Gloomy Mind
By Prapaipuk Niamrat
30 June - 30 July 2017
People's Gallery P3, 2nd floor, artHUB@bacc

Every human being is inevitably faced with illnesses and dysfunctions in life both physically
or mentally. These two aspects of malady go hand in hand and function as mechanisms
that drive lives. Thus, I express my ideas and feelings of the emotions that occur when
we are sick and in suffering through erasing in order to heal and eradicate the suffering
in my mind. On one hand, this work reflects the scars and experiences which make us understand how it is to live. On the other hand, it reflects awareness and understanding
in living with imperfections.
