SUMMARY:นิทรรศการ \"After Hem Vejakorn\"
DESCRIPTION:Richard Koh Projects (RK Projects) is pleased to announce 
 After Hem Vejakorn, an upcoming exhibition by Thai photographer Pattan
 a Chuenmana scheduled to run from 25 August – 22 September 2018 at U
 nit A, 3rd Floor, N22 Art Warehouse, 2198/10-11, Narathiwas Rajanakari
 n Rd soi 22, Chong Nonsi, Yannawa, Bangkok 10210, Thailand. The exhibi
 tion will present 7 large format photography works that respond to the
  renowned Thai illustrator, Hem Vejakorn’s drawings. The Opening Rec
 eption will take place on Saturday, 25 August, from 5 – 8pm.\r\nPatt
 ana Chuenmana will be presenting photographs based on the illustration
 s by Hem Vejakorn, a well-known Thai artist and writer, popular for hi
 s illustrations for the cover of 10- satang pulp novels. Considered on
 e of the most influential illustrator and artist in the modern history
  of Thailand, Hem was affectionately referred to as Kru Hem (Teacher H
 em) by many top cartoonists.\r\nAs articulated by Pattana, Hem lived i
 n the period when electricity is not widely accessible and that Thai s
 ociety was generally an agricultural society. Their night lives were l
 it mostly by torches and lamps. The fear of darkness is closely tied w
 ith superstitious beliefs and urban legends of the time, which have al
 lowed the society to imagine and view things in a different perspectiv
 e. This, in a way, obstructs logical perception in which in some insta
 nces, rationality and reason are replaced with ghosts and demons.\r\nT
 ranslating this to contemporary life, Pattana has discovered that in m
 odern day Bangkok, there are still corners in the city that are hidden
  behinds the shadows created by light lit by electricity and neon lamp
 s. These darks corners inspire one’s imagination in a different mann
 er than Hem’s, but Pattana could still sense the mysterious aura fro
 m Hem’s illustration in the real-life environments.\r\nIn an attempt
  to capture the essence of Hem’s drawings of everyday life in contem
 porary today, Pattana recontextualizes these compositions and translat
 es them into scenarios where our everyday is lit by the use of electro
 nics and gadgets instead. Reconstructing these scenes with friends and
  actors, in which at times, as if mimicking reality, the artist himsel
 f would play the role of a protagonist.\n\nFor more information visit
