The Strangely Real group exhibition at Noble Play in Bangkok opened on 19th August and runs until 26th September. The exhibition includes Kanya Charoensupkul’s Flag: Comet/May 1992 (ธง ดาวหาง/พฤษภาคม 2535), one of a series of acrylic flag paintings capturing her emotional reactions — primarily melancholy and hopelessness — to the events of ‘Black May’ in 1992.
Strangely Real also features an installation by Tawee Ratchaneekorn, Prison (คุก) which, as the label describes rather euphemistically, “reflects the stringent laws of the Thai state, particularly in crowd control during political expressions, stemming from long-standing political issues.” (Prison was created for Tawee’s Bangkok Art and Culture Centre retrospective, and is the artist’s commentary on the state suppression of student protests over the past few years.)
