This exhibition Monologue Dialogue 3 continues an important conversation initiated 8 years ago in Thailand supported by the
British Council resulting in exhibitions of a group of British and Thai artists in both Bangkok and London. The group of artists
participating in
this third exhibition has evolved organically to include new artists that are interested in this kind of diverse,
international and
unpredictable dialogue. The key words here are fragility and monumentality. This show illustrates nothing.
It is not an illustration of a
theory or concept; it embraces the poetic and uncertainty will sometimes surface. The artists will
interact, fabricate, assemble, paint
and construct this show – we expect an electric conversation with excitement and perhaps
even failure. Failure and nothingness are
key words in art and ones that can be embraced resulting in fragility and a vision
that is unexpected. Monumentality is about
presence, and can be about the awkwardness of being.
