1/7 Artificial Nature

Warin Lab Contemporary has invited up-and-coming Thai artists Nakrob Moonmanas and Mary Pakinee to take their creative spin on the cult classic young adult Thai literature, Cheewit Kong Chan Lookkrating (1977), which translates to My Life… A Little Gaur. The exhibition will explore the relationship between nature, humans, and non-human beings. Nakrob’s Artificial Nature is an interactive installation that draws from mythical animals and nature in Thai literature. Meanwhile, Mary has constructed a simulated world that calls for environmentalism and raises questions about humankind’s violations against nature.

2/7 Moriyama An Expression For You, Dad

Thai-Indian photographer Vithaya Matracha fell in love with photography ever since receiving his first camera at the age of nine. What truly shifted his style was the discovery of legendary Japanese street photographer Daidō Moriyama. In his walk-through photo exhibition, Matracha dedicates the high-contrast black and white collection to his late father and Moriyama’s impactful art.
