PEEK @PETCH: Through Architecture Silpakorn’s Eyes
Organised by the Faculty of Architecture, Silpakorn University and BACC Exhibition Department
Supported by TOA PAINT (Thailand) Co.,Ltd. and Mitsubishi Elevator (Thailand) Co.,Ltd.
9 February - 9 March 2016
Main Gallery, 7th floor
In 2310 B.E. (1767) while Thailand’s capital, Ayuthaya, was devastated by the second
defeat in the historical war, by which major
parts of the city including temples and cultural
glories of Ayuthaya were set on fire and city was obliterated, Phetchaburi continued
to
prosper with high arts and culture from the early Ayuthaya period without being affected
by wars. As many have said,
"Phetchaburi is the living Ayuthaya."
This exhibition takes visitors through learning processes with which students, scholars,
artists, and designers from Silpakorn
University have been exploring the Phetchaburi’s
masterful works of art, culture, and architecture throughout the Faculty’s 60 years
since
the day it was founded. The outcomes of these studies of Petchaburi’s arts and crafts
have been in diverse forms
photographs, art pieces derived from field experiences,
technically and artistic surveyed drawings (VERNADOC) and scaled
architectural models
representing fine details of buildings, components, and original/creative art on the them.
In addition, a native
Phetchaburi artist, Khun Korakot Aromdee, has created a new
bamboo structure highlighting the local wisdom of Phetchaburi.
This will be specially
made to fit the BACC’s Main Exhibition space and will also thread through and connect
different parts of this exhibition.
It is important to learn from Phetchaburi culture to genuinely understand the past and the
present in order to create new works
in many fields that sustain the relevance of Thai
culture to today’s fast-changing life.
