Anoucement!

 WTF gallery would like to ask our friends a small favour. We are working with a great thai visual artist, Som Sutthirat Supaparinya, helping her to create a new work called "Disc is Dead, Disco is Alive!". The work will be displayed as part of her solo show at WTF Gallery Jan next year.

We'd like to ask you to help us by donating the used or unwanted CDs and DVDs. We need A LOT of them to create a groovy "disco ball" as part of the show. You can drop them at WTF or we can arrange to pick them up too.

Please help spreading the words if you know anyone with a lot of unwanted CDs/DVDs.

Call 089 926 6474 or email somrak@wtfbangkok.com

Head or Tail

Review Posted: 08 Oct 08

Head or Tail is an exhibition of contemporary video works from Thailand, first shown in Dublin last fall as part of an exchange between Pallas Contemporary Projects and Project 304, a non-site project-based arts organization in Bangkok. Fittingly, Head or Tail had its first exclusive screening in the west of Ireland at G126 Gallery in late May; like G126, Project 304 originally started as an alternative space run by artists and curators. 'Hua rua Goy' or 'Head or Tail' is a term

Me, Hazel Lim, Michael Tan and 5 artists from singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Germany will do a group show at Substation in Singapore this March.

If anyone around pls drop by..

more update will be post here soon.

Curated Michael Shaowanasai
Stuck together in a small vessel, Thai media artists must work together to stay afloat. At the same time they are also trying to out-live one another. While lost at sea, they are waving and screaming in order to get any kind of attention hoping to be rescued. Some of them are fortunate and have been ‘scooped up’ by a passing European liner. The rest of them can only watch and hold on to what they have – their talent, their pride and their hopes.” Michael Shaowanasai
Lifeboat #2551 is curated by one of Thailand’s key contemporary artists, Michael Shaowanasai. It brings together a cross generational mix of media artists from Thailand.
Join Michael Shaowanasai for a Roundtable discussion (Saturday 14 June, 2pm) and Curator's Talk (Saturday 21 June, 2pm) as Lifeboat #2551 docks in Sydney.

“Tree of Life” (L’albero della vita)

news from http://containerart.wordpress.com/2008/05/25/tree-of-life-lalbero-della-vita/
Light Team:
Sutthirat Supaparinya (Thailand),
Chakkrit Chimnok (Thailand), Chatchai Suban (Thailand)
Pittura ad olio, fogli riflettenti.
Imitare l’ambiente “verde” degli alberi tailandesi e riempire di vita la creazione umana che chiamiamo “container”.
Le verdi immagini degli alberi tailandesi possono essere ammirate anche di giorno, ma specialmente di notte, quando il pubblico può usare la luce delle candele per illuminare l’immagine verde. Dato che le immagini sono create da fogli riflettenti, splenderanno nell’oscurità notturna della zona in cui è esposto il container.
Per usare la luce delle candele di giorno, il pubblico può entrare all’interno del container.
Location: Corso Italia (Ge)
