17 Thai Contemporary Artists

05 Jun 2003 - 10 Aug 2003

For this exhibition, which takes its inspiration from the address and name of the gallery, 100 Soi Tonson; 17 artists are each given a wall space of 100cm and works can be contributed in the form of one or a few pieces, depending on how each artist plans to utilize the space.

Underlining an interest in the globalising nature of contemporary life, artists are asked to contribute works that focus on various chosen terrains such as living structure, consciousness or identity. It is as if the individual works is suggested as markers to bring out the existence of the gallery.

Thematic is decisively avoided; instead, the way to access the exhibition is to read and look across the art searching for connections, contradiction and challenges to preconception – an exercise which can provide new and wider insight.
