Tang Contemporary Art is pleased to announce the exhibition, Intersection of Existence, in the Bangkok Space, running from 20 April - 11 June, 2024. Curated by Mai Wongsawasdi, the exhibition presents the works of eight important Thai contemporary artists: Gongkan, Kamin Lerchaiprasert, Kitti Narod, Navin Rawanchaikul, Pannaphan Yodmanee, Sakarin Krue-On, Sriwan Janehuttakarnkit, and Suntur.
This group exhibition explores the artistic creations of eight artists, many of whom Tang Contemporary Art Bangkok has worked with since its establishment in 1997; each artist influenced by their individual perspectives and life encounters since, will present a selection of historical and new creations in this show. The artistic expressions of each artist are the result of their diverse upbringings, backgrounds, and influences. However, regardless of the variations in visual aesthetics, conceptual approach, and artistic medium, all artworks exhibited shared themes centered around the human experience and existence. Consequently, these diverse pieces find ways to establish connections with one another.
Certain inevitabilities mark our shared journeys. According to the first noble truth of Buddhism, the cycles of birth, aging, sickness, and death, which are inevitable experiences of life. Alongside these significant life experiences, we come across a variety of emotions—such as love, joy, pain, anger, and contentment—together, these influence and define our sense of self. By engaging in these experiences, we acquire knowledge, we develop, and we ultimately shape and solidify our identities. Our journey is defined by the process, the interpersonal interactions and self-reflection, as we navigate the complexities of existence, seeking meaning amidst life's uncertainties.
