Main Gallery, 9th Floor

With the current political and social climate, it marks up the stage of transition not only
links with what goes on around the SEA region but also parts of the world where the contemporaneity is constituted with a shift of systematic of thoughts at present.
Whether it is neo-conservative uprising, progressive evolution, it paves the context for
the exhibition to broaden beyond existing boundaries to reassess current issues at hand
in their contemporaneous entirety. With the keywords such as humour, superiority, irony,
mass, and contradiction are some among many, suggested to encourage new thoughts
of self in relation to society. Through the sculptural works of the world famous artist,
Erwin Wurm, they offer various depths of philosophy with subliminity placing audience
at his central core to explore a light and humorous side yet critical state of self. The
intention of the exhibition is to present the artworks of the notable artist who has long
history in investigating the possibility of art on the relative planes of self and the reality
in the contemporary society.

Hearsay for Expression of New Attitudes (A Moment of Privacy / 2016)
To compose a magnificent poem,
It's not only the matter of words or language.
For me, Poem is not only beauty of words
That can be understood through understanding.
You are unable to approach any poem through reading solely.
No matter how hard you try, poem remains unapproachable.
New perspective of poem may be an "action" or a "thinking group".
Is it possible to define poem beyond limitations of language and words?

By B-Floor Theatre, Butoh Co-Op Thailand
and Bangkok Art and Culture Centre
9 - 18 December 2016
Studio, 4th floor

B-Floor Theatre, Butoh Co-Op Thailand and Bangkok Art and Culture Centre present: EVOLUTION/REVOLUTION: THE 11th INTERNATIONAL BUTOH FESTIVAL THAILAND 2016

This year’s festival is dedicated to Ko Murobushi, an extraordinary Butoh artist who
passed away last year. May his spirit dance on inside us. EVOLUTION/REVOLUTION:
THE 11th INTERNATIONAL BUTOH FESTIVAL THAILAND 2016 will take place in the
capital of Thailand, Bangkok from 9 - 18 December 2016. The featured artists for this
year’s are Takayuki Takita (Japan), Yuko Kawamoto (Japan), Rosana Barra (Brazil/Spain), Tony Broer (Indonesia), Calé Miranda (Brazil) and Teerawat Mulvilai (Thailand) with
a Butoh symposium with Takashi Morishita (Japan),curator of the Hijikata Tasumi Archive.

Butoh was born in Japan in the late 1950s by Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazou. Since
then this revolutionary art form that caused riots and chaos on its first presentation to
public audiences, continues to evolve on a global scale after 57 years. Today, 30 years
after Hijikata Tatsumi’s death, Butoh is currently being used as dance therapy and rehabilitation for incarcerated prisoners. Butoh influences can be seen integrated with
other art forms such as sculpture, architecture, photography, music, and film.

Revolution implies change, EVOLUTION/REVOLUTION seeks to follow the evolution of
that change and the initial revolution to what is present day Butoh.

Le Pla Daak
4th floor

Le Pla Daak” comes from two languages. “Le” is a French prefix for “male”, the second
word, “Pla Daak” is a Northeastern Thai meaning “anchovy”. By combining the two words,
we get a male anchovy or “Le Pla Daak”. Le Pla Daak at BACC serves “Thai Fast food in
the Northeastern style” with a fusion of French cuisine but still keep the original Thai spicy
taste. The most important remark is that all dishes are freshly cooked to order with no
MSG added.

Destination: Still Unknown
Pramuan Burusphat: A Retrospective
21 January - 28 February 2017
Studio, 4th floor

Opening Ceremony on Saturday 21 January 2017 at 17.30 hrs.

Destination: Still Unknown is a retrospective exhibition dedicated to Pramuan Burusphat
(b. 1953,Bangkok), eminent artist, educator and advocate of photography (as art).

Since the late 70s, AjarnPramuan has displayed a rare commitment towards photography
as his medium-of-choice in his artistic practice. A pioneer of conceptual photography in
Thailand, his work also incorporates collage and drawing. Pramuan’s usage of photography
is different from the salon photographers and the photojournalists. Heenjoys
experimenting with different photographic processes and printing technologies, creating
imageries informed by his personal experiences. Pramuansees photography as a way to
connect and dialogue with the global community of artists and photographers. Since the
90s, Pramuan has also been thinking about the artist’s role in wastage and consumption
(through the making of art), prompting him to shift his work in a new direction. In many
ways, he is constantly ahead of the curve.

This retrospective aims to highlight some of the threads in his artistic practice. It is also
an occasion tocelebrate Pramuan’s impact on Thai contemporary art.

In Southeast Asia, photography’s place in the visual arts remains uncertain. For decades,
AjarnPramuanfound himself operating in an unsympathetic environment. Nevertheless,
since the late 70s, he has participated in ten solo shows and over 70 group exhibitions
across the world.
