Presented by CIRCUIT, Enjoy Contemporary Art Space, The Pyramid Club and supported by Asia New Zealand, Space-Body Entanglement is a programme of recent Thai artists video introduced by visiting Bangkok curator Mary Pansanga. This screening of contemporary artists film and video from Thailand features work by Jeanne Penjan Lassus, Pam Virada, Saroot Supasuthivech, Tulapop Saenjaroen, Korakrit Arunanondchai & Alex Gvojic (with boychild), Pathompon Mont Tesprateep.

Space-Body Entanglement features a selection of work by six Thai artists that explore the interplay between the body and the spatial environment. Throughout the programme the physical and transcendental aspects of the depicted body interact within various landscapes, offering an exploration of spatiality, including that of the cinema screen itself. Encompassing an array of diverse forms and interpretations these works explore deafness, supernatural visitations, Cold War histories, images of depression and Thai animation history.

The screening is curated and introduced by visiting Bangkok curator Mary Pansanga alongside artist Tanatchai Bandasak, who will stage an intervention before the screening begins.

Mary Pansanga is an independent curator working across cinema and contemporary art contexts, institutions and spaces. She co-founded STORAGE, a Bangkok project space. Tanatchai Bandasak is an artist whose work explores light, living matter, habitat, and geology.

Space-Body Entanglement is presented in association with the exhibition Homing Instinct, now on at Enjoy Contemporary Art Space until 31 August. The visit of Mary Pansanga and Tanatchai Bandasak is supported by the Asia New Zealand Foundation.

 

Screening: 75 minutes followed by Q&A with Mary Pansanga and Tanatchai Bandasak.
