Dear ATTA, is a solo exhibition by Rudee Tancharoen and ATTA Gallery’s final exhibition at Warehouse 30. Rudee was one of the first artists ATTA worked with when it opened in 2010, and the exhibition celebrates the relationships and memories shared over the gallery’s 16-year journey.
Like opening a drawer of old memories, the exhibition brings together objects, encounters and fragments of time. Some may seem familiar, others insignificant at first glance, yet together they hold traces of the relationships, decisions and moments that have shaped two parallel paths: ATTA Gallery’s and the artist’s own. Both began around the same time, with ATTA opening in late 2010 and Rudee’s Atelier Rudee following in January 2011, and their paths have crossed and supported each other ever since.
This is not a complete account of the past, but a way of looking at it again. Old works meet new ones, and fragments of memory sit beside objects whose meanings have changed over time. Rather than forming an orderly story, they offer glimpses and connections, leaving room for each viewer to find their own way through.
The closing of ATTA marks the end of a chapter, but the exhibition asks whether an ending must be understood only as a loss, or whether it can also be a change of direction and a chance to see new possibilities. Dear ATTA, is a letter to a place, a collection of memories and a reflection on a shared journey, inviting us to think about our own beginnings, endings and what lies between them.
