TONO x Bangkok Kunsthalle Screenings: “Training Grounds”

Time: 1 pm 

Admission: Free

At each festival, TONO collaborates with an international museum on screening programs. TONO has worked with the MMCA in Seoul, MoMA in New York, and PAMM in Miami. This year, Rosalia Namsai Engchuan, curator of moving images at Bangkok Kunsthalle, has been invited to propose a program.

This group selection of Thai artists is titled “Training Grounds” and explores the ways in which power acts in subtle and silent, yet increasingly powerful ways through repetition, monumentalization, ritualization, the capture of external dreams, and the inherent pressures of capitalism that drain life. Through leisure, education, fantasy, and extraction, the program moves between speculative, performative, energetic, physical, and dreamlike bodies and the spaces through which they move.

There are works by Montika Kham-on, Oat Montien, Tulapop Saenjaroen, Harit Srikhao, Wannawat Suwannarath, and Chulayarnnon Siriphol.
