| Exhibition: Be Skeptical@BACC | ||
| UPDATE : 18 May 2010 | ||
Be Skeptical is a collection of art works produced by Thai contemporary artists Pasut Kranrattanasuit, Pitiwat Somthai, Noppadol Viroonchatapun and Suparirk Kanitwaranun. The four artists have turned to a variety of methods in producing their work, including installations, sculpture, short film and video. The title of the exhibition, which is being held at the Bangkok Art and Culture Center (BACC) would suggest that the artists recommend that people think very carefully before believing what they’re told. Hypnotic Approach A video installation produced by Pasut Kranrattanasuit expresses his desire to bring about new definitions of living, both from a personal and social perspective. Using a hypnotic element, the artist’s installation draws on his personal insight and experience as a way of shedding light on the subject matter. Pitiwat Somthai demonstrates his artistic expertise, which puts the Intaglio printmaking method to great use. While Pitiwat’s work can certainly raise eyebrows, its imagery is often sufficiently powerful in itself to leave the viewer transfixed. I certainly spent a significant period of time closely examining the artist’s work. Noppadol Viroonchatapun demonstrates in his work his perceptions on several important subjects from daily life, such as society and the environment, looking at both the positives and negatives. Noppadol’s work entitled ‘Monday’ includes an interesting installation that features a city gent’s typical daily ‘uniform’, including a shirt and necktie, trousers and briefcase. In line with the exhibition’s general concept, Noppadol’s contributions to the exhibition also seem to seek new meaning from life. On Reflection Through his paintings, the artist illustrates technological development within a contemporary urban environment, just as those living in these city-based environments seem to struggle for a more meaningful form of spiritual existence. I was certainly drawn towards Suparirk’s video installation.
Let’s hope that under the current circumstances such feelings can help provide greater insight and foster a desire for democratic ideas to benefit the lives of the people over the long term. Be Skeptical is located on the 7th floor of the BACC and runs through June 13. The BACC opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 9 pm.
