338 OIDA Gallery announces its upcoming show, “Things”, featuring two young Thai artists, Jaitip Jaidee and Rattawalee Chanchawvalit, to be held at the Gallery’s Rama IV location 7 November through 30 November.
Everybody has “things” – although probably not everything. Their values vary in status and association levels, and may develop into monetary significance. Two emerging Thai artists, Jaitip Jaidee and Ratawalee Charnchavalit, are expressing the conceptual content of “things” in this joint exhibition that not only discusses their existence, but also the formation of their meanings. All of us are often confined to traditional definitions of “things”, seemingly unalterable and permanent. We have forgotten that there is no absolute truth in an object or a person of this world. This condition has prevented new “things” from occurring.
The important “thing” in this project is not the matter of the subject, but is the idea to be realized after having allowed the artworks to be a guiding path into contemplation. To detach oneself is not only to be released from constraints of the body, but is also to be liberated from existing thoughts that have blinded the eyes and bound the spirit.
The exhibition, curated by Wantanee Siripattananuntakul, is on view through 30 November.
