The fifth Bangkok Art Biennale brings together 72 Thai and international artists and collectives across 11 iconic venues in Bangkok under the theme Angels & Mara.
The theme draws on Bangkok’s identity as the “City of Angels” and explores the interplay between opposing forces: good and evil, light and darkness, desire and enlightenment. Rooted in Buddhist philosophy and contemporary perspectives, Angels & Mara invites audiences to reflect on the complexities of human nature, spirituality and the challenges of a changing world.
Installations, sculptures, paintings, video art and performances turn the city’s historic temples, cultural landmarks and modern urban spaces into platforms for artistic expression and dialogue. Through works by internationally acclaimed and emerging artists, the Biennale invites visitors to discover new perspectives, engage with contemporary issues and experience art beyond the gallery.
Venues: Wat Arun, Wat Pho, Wat Prayoon, National Museum Bangkok, Art Centre Silpakorn University, Museum Siam, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC), Alliance Française Bangkok, One Bangkok, centralwOrld, Siam Paragon
