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.

“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)
