Shifting Horizons: music, myth, and memory.
The media art of John Sanborn
Organised by BACC Exhibition Department
25 March - 10 July 2016
Main Gallery, 7th floor

With ubiquity of media and effortless function of technology today, creating artworks employing media is not a mind -boggling
task much less a focused access among certain groups of users. These days everyone could create media works, but not allare
created with quality. The merits that distinguish one from the other could be weighted from concept of the works, craftsmanship
of expression,or skill in composing meaningful technology. All these characters that are accomplished with qualities could be
traced from the artist whom his notable works rises from the technological developing period of the recent past. BACC Exhibition
Departmentproudly presents the works of John Sanborn, a key member of the second wave of American video artists that
included Bill Viola, Gary Hill, Dara Birnbaum, Tony Oursler. And though much of his early works were shown in celebratedinstitutions,
from the Whitney and MoMA in NYC, to the Pompidou Center in Paris, his career embraced a broader media journey that would
take him inside broadcast television, to Hollywood, and to Silicon Valley. All the while maintaining a presence in the art world
through installations and collaborative pieces with composers and choreographers. 2015 marked the return of Sanborn as a
figure to be reckoned with, and whose creative history set a series of signposts for 21st century chronology, how an artist
whowandered in and out of corporate worlds, makes his way back into the fold. This exhibition E-INVITATION INFO 3 marks the
manner of this return, looking to music, the foundation, the pattern for his distinctive use of media formalism; it conjures up issues
of myth and reinvention, as media remains an ever-changing medium; finally it acknowledges Sanborn’s role in performance and
performative collaborations with major 20th century dancers and performers, settling the bond between him and his mentor,
Nam June Paik.

urban landscape like Bangkok. The electromagnetic walk of Christina Kubisch guides viewer
through city with map and custom-made headphone catching magnetic sound that are
inaudible to naked ears, while field- recorded images of Miti Ruangkritya prolonging
perceptibility in mundane living, marking reflective thoughts from the omnipresent of media
in our increasingly technological environment. Both expressions are synthesized in an exhibition space by means of acoustic performative and optical interpretation as well
as human possibility to experience by his or her inclusion as an actor in the work.

What’s Preecha Done: A Painting Exhibition
By Preecha Raksorn
1 April - 1 May 2016
People's Gallery P1-P2, 2nd floor, artHUB@bacc

Enclosed characters exhibited by inescapable roles have questioned of being aged. Preecha
Raksorn presented “What’s Preecha Done”, his second solo exhibition with curiosity and
conflict of identities. Bits of personal and imaginative moments were sequentially rearranged
throughout multiple pieces of paintings in comic style as the reflection and records of his
life, playing back memories along with chaotic sentiments. Three sets of works from seven years are seamlessly intricate with conversations within; whether his identity is coated by
an exhibited package to negotiate with outer forces or the result of his own determination.
