bacc exhibition

The Bangkok Art and Culture Centre is organising an exhibition 'EARTH- WATER- FOREST- AIR', between August-November
2017, as part of its year long programme to commemorate the passing of the King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the Kingdom of Thailand's
ninth king. In particular, this exhibition will focus on his legacy concerning the realm's sustainability practice and environmental
concern in view of the livelihood of the people of Thailand in all diversity.

The content of the exhibition will be presented by the works of artists, photographers, designers, architects, making up the creative practitioners who are responsible from conveying influential social messages, to those making contributions to the design and building programmes. Their works reflect the fact that the sustainability issue is not just confined to the physical and scientific world, but has as much to do with the social awareness, perception and cultural understanding.

It s hoped that the sustainability legacy of King Bhumibol Adulyadej will provide inspiration for the young generation and serve as
a rallying point for all who are committed to the cause of environmental sustainability.

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.

"MUSLIMAH"
By Keeta Isran, Nuratna Hawae, Nuriya Waji, Kusofiyah Nibuesa, Heedayah Mahavi, Arichama Pakapet
Curated by Keeta Isran and De’ Lapae Art Space Narathiwat
3 - 27 August 2017
People's Gallery P1-P2, 2nd floor, artHUB@bacc

"The Way of Women" implies the roles and duties in honorable and dignity conduct,
the act on the basis of goodness, the humility to those who have faith. Heaven is at
mother’s feet so treat mothers well and protect women from harm. In Islam, men and
women have equal rights with different duties. Women are assigned with the duties and
roles of "mother". Combination of interconnected ties will deliver to the soul and values
of goodness. Inspired by the integrity in Thai society, this group of Muslim female artists
from Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat are able to capture the creativity in the approach and
style that characterizes the new generation of female artists to express themselves and
drive the art work to further the ideas, processes and procedure with hope that it will
contribute and help nurture hope and courage for all the female artists in the deep South.
