"Earth-Water- Forest-Air"
The Royal Inspiration
Organised by Bangkok Art and Culture Centre
10 August - 12 November 2017
Main Gallery, 7th floor

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 environmentalconcern 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.

Curated by Chatvichai Promadhattavedi, Amarit Chusuwan and Apisak Sonjod, "EARTH- WATER- FOREST- AIR" exhibition will be on display August 10 to November 12, 2017, on the 7th Floor of the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre.

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.

Different Similarity
By Mongkol Suwannachatree, Siripong Kitjawat (The Flow)
and Padungpong Saruno
2 September - 1 October 2017
People's Gallery P1-P2, 2nd floor, artHUB@bacc

"Different similarity" is a concept set up to tell stories, situations and circumstances of "human being" through different prospects and techniques. This is the idea behind "Three Type", a group of artists trying to transform this small community to a co-learning space through each individual’s perspective. By creating their works based on personal experience, philosophy and beliefs, they hope that this space would relate to the audience in one way or another. As art cannot be defined, interpreted, or judged by the artist himself, it is more valuable and meaningful when perceived by the audience.

Life is a story nourished by the light and dark of time. The latter manifest its beauty, reality, and dream. Those elements incessantly bridge one another, weaving them into the fabric of life. Amidst the intricate network of infinite relations, reveal the mystery of life -- the luminosity of flowers and stars emanate within us. It is so gorgeous

CINEMA DIVERSE 2017: The Invisible Hands
NOPAWAT LIKITWONG: THE SOUND DESIGNER
By BACC Arts Activity Department
Saturday 23 September 2017 at 17.00 - 20.30 hrs.
Auditorium, 5th floor

Eraserhead (USA / 1977)
With Thai and English subtitles (Running time 89 minutes)

The third screening of Cinema Diverse 2017: The Invisible Hands on 23 September is an American film, "Eraserhead" chosen by Nopawat Likitwong, the sound designer and sound engineer of critical acclaimed Thai films including "Pee Mak", "The Teacher's Diary", "The Blue Hour", and "#BKKY" as well as international films such as "Operation Mekong" and "The Brink". After the screening, Nopawat Likitwong will give a talk and a Q&A about the importance of sound in cinema and his experience as a sound designer.

Written, produced, and directed by David Lynch, Eraserhead tells the story of Henry Spencer, an unfortunate worker who is left to care for his grossly deformed child in a desolate industrial landscape. Throughout the film, Spencer experiences nightmares and hallucinations caused by living with his angry girlfriend, the unbearable screams of his newly born mutant child and his own desperate mind. Not only these drive him and his girlfriend crazy, they also leave the audience with what the director called " a dream of dark and troubling things".

Eraserhead's sound design has been considered one of its defining elements. The film features several constant industrial sounds, providing low-level background noise in every scene. Its foreboding mood was inspired by Philadelphia’s post-industrial history. Lynch worked with sound designer Alan Splet to create something more unusual, evoking the sounds of heavy machinery while imbuing the whole thing with a rusted, deteriorating quality which was hailed as the masterpiece of "audio surrealism".

Entry fee is 60 Baht per person (with a free programme).
Tickets are available at 15.00 hrs.
Film screening starts at 17.00 hrs.

*In English with Thai subtitles
*The post-screening talk will be in Thai with English translation.

Le Pla Daak
4th floor

The name "Le Pla Daak" comes from two languages. The first words is "Le" which is a French prefix for "male", the second word, “Pla Daak” is a Northeastern Thai word which means "anchovy". By combining the two words, we will get a male anchovy or "Le Pla Daak". The new branch of Le Pla Daak sits at the heart of Bangkok at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. The interior is styled in a unique Thai 70s vintage. We serve Thai fast food in the Northeastern style with a fusion of French cuisine but still keep the authentic Thai spicy flavour. Our most important remark is that all dishes are freshly cooked to order with NO MSG added.
