Opportunities for up-and-coming artists
Designed to showcase presenting artists’ work as it develops, the “The Early Years Project”, initiated in 2016 by BACC Exhibition Departments, will turn the spotlight on the work of Komkrit Tepthian this weekend only at the @Hotel Art Fair in Room 506 on the fifth floor of the Volve Hotel, Sukhumvit 53
By applying iconography, Komkrit’s sculpture and site-specific installation deals with the interrelationship between space, people, beliefs, memories, and superimposes historical events of the Thonglor area where the project is hosted. The work conceptually takes audience back to the past with the narrative of the current social context and space-based imagination to speculate upon the future.
The project aims will encourage the development of young artists’ work and also foster the collaboration between private and business sectors in promoting young artists.
Organised by the Bangkok Art and Culture Center and sponsored by Thai Beverage, the project is curated by Narongsak Nilkhet.
The Early Years project’s long-term goal is to develop a support base for one generation of artists for a certain period of time while also offering artists of various origins and styles the opportunity to learn new skills and gather experiences that will feed into their career progression. The project offers includes funding to support their creation, spaces to display works and opportunities to exchange experiences and develop art-making processes.
