Thai and Portuguese Revolution



Pisitakun Kuantalaeng’s exhibition Thai and Portuguese Revolution (Thailand e Portugal Revolução) [sic] opens today at TARS Gallery in Bangkok. The show’s centrepiece is The Unfinished History, a large mural painted onto ceramic tiles, depicting scenes from the modern political histories of Thailand and Portugal, with blank speech bubbles in which visitors can write their own dialogue.

In his artist’s statement, handwritten on a large board, Pisitakun explains that the exhibition is “A SPACE FOR US TO REVIEW THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF PEOPLE’S STRUGGLE IN DEMANDING THEIR RIGHTS AND THE HOPE FOR A CHANGE TOWARDS A BETTER COUNTRY. THIS IS TRUE FOR PEOPLE OF TWO COUNTRIES FROM DIFFERENT CONTINENTS.” Thai and Portuguese Revolution runs until 24th April.
