Omnivoyeur and Electrical Walks
Bangkok Electromagnetic Sound and Visual Project
1 April - 10 July 2016
Main gallery, 7th floor

Organised as part of Urban Media Project by Goethe Institute in Bangkok, BACC Exhibition Dept.,
Connecting Cities Network in Berlin

In the phenomenon of the absence and presence communicates through the works of two artists, a renowned German sound
artist Christina Kubisch and a Thai Photographer, Miti Ruangkritya investigate the 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 time and space as well as the abstract energy that interchange to allow for new aesthetic and
experience while retaining its original essence. The title Omnivoyeur is a psychoanalytical concept “I see only from one point but
my existence is looked at from all sides” of Jacques Lacan, the project offers a reverse in thought and action through the artworks
where the audience is encouraged to become an active investigator in perceiving both politics and poetic of media hidden in their
urban surrounding.

Artists: Christina Kubisch and Miti Ruangkritya

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

John Sanborn was a key member of the second wave of American video artists that
included Bill Viola, Gary Hill, Dara Birnbaum, and Tony Oursler. And though much of his early
works were shown in celebrated institutions, from the Whitney and MoMA in NYC, to the
Pompidou Center in Paris, his career embraced a fuller media journey that would take him inside broadcast television, to Hollywood, and to Silicon Valley. This exhibition 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 remain 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.

Brush-Sri
By Piyangkoon Tunvichrin, Nalutporn Krairiksh,
Thippayaporn Thongcham, Witchulada Panthanuvong
5 - 29 May 2016
People's Gallery P1-P3, 2nd floor, artHUB@bacc

Opening Ceremony on Tuesday 10 May 2016 at 19.00 hrs.

Brush-Sri yes, you did not misread it. Very few people know this but the real meaning
of this Thai word is 'shy'. As artists, we don’t know the true meaning of this word but
the sound of it reminds us of a brush (brush) and paint (si). Brush is a piece of equipment
that is indispensable to the work of art, whatever form it is. And that makes it the perfect
symbol for the likeness and difference between us, the 4 artists.

As for the 'shyness', we believe that art is a way to express yourself and hopeful the audience will see what we try to express through this exhibition

"Lines From Three Lives"
By Chuan Leekpai, Chakrapan Posayakrit and Nithi Sathapitanon
8 April - 31 May 2016

are what they do in their spare time or when travelling.

Chuan Leekpai has been drawing sketches for over 50 years. He is often invited to
exhibit his works in various shows. Out of the exhibitions he participated with some architects, gave rise to the discussion and sharing for the love of sketching with the
architect, Nithi Sthapitanonda. They met up with Chakrabhand Posayakrit, the renowned National Artist who also has sketchesfrom his travels, and so he was asked and was
delighted to join the exhibition.

Odysseys: The Photographic Exhibition
3 - 29 May 2016
Curved Wall, 3rd,5th floor

In May 2015 pictures of rickety boats stranded in the Andaman Sea packed with desperate men, women and children from Myanmar and Bangladesh made international headlines, a searing reminder that Europe was not the only continent experiencing a refugee crisis.

One year on Agence France-Presse revisits its coverage of the plight of refugees and migrants across both Europe and Asia

AFP photographers documented the misery, suffering and risks endured by these families as they searched for a better life. Anxious parents helping children over the razor wire fences guarding the Syria-Turkey border, mass graves found in Thai jungle prison camps, exhausted people marching in columns down Eastern European roads, packed shelters in Indonesia or wrecked boats lying in a haunting sea of discarded life jackets on the Greek coast…

The "Odysseys" exhibition will debut in Bangkok (May 3- 29) at the BACC (3-5th floor) before moving on to Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta.

On May 11, a discussion will take place at the BACC with two AFP photographers -- Christophe Archambault from Bangkok and Ye Aung Thu from Yangon -- about how
they covered the crisis in South-East Asia. The discussion, which is open to the public,
will take place at 16.00 hrs. on the 5th floor.

Saturday 21 May 2016 at 16.00 - 20.30 hrs.
Auditorium, 5th Floor

Bangkok Art and Culture Centre proudly presents "Cinema Diverse: Director's Choice
2016: The Female Perspective". For the fourth Cinema Diverse, four international
films, selected by five acclaimed female Thai directors, will be shown bi-monthly from
May - November 2016. After each screening there will be a post-screening talk and
a Q&A session to discuss ideas and thoughts about the film with the directors.

The first screening on Saturday 21 May 2016 is The Pearl Button(Chile / 2015) directed
by Patricio Guzmán and chosen by Soraya Nakasuwan, an acclaimedThai director
of Final Score and Rahtree Sawasdi. The Pearl Button is a 2015 Chilean documentary film.
It was screened in the main competition section of the 65th Berlin International Film
Festival where it won the Silver Bear for Best Script. It won the Lumières Award for Best
Documentary at the 21st Lumières Awards. The film is part of a triptych with Nostalgia
for the Light and potentially a third film focusing on the Andes, exploring familiar Guzmán
themes such as memory and the historical past, particularly of that of the history's "losers"
rather than victors, as it documents the settlement of Chile’s Tierra del Fuego, including
some of the last surviving descendants of the original Alacalufeand Yaghan inhabitants.
