SUMMARY:DUCKOCRACY by Mit Jai
DESCRIPTION:DUCKOCRACY by Mit Jai Inn Ephemeral installation to stimul
 ate political dialogues Thursday April 7th 2011 starting 10pm - Sneak
  preview of the installation.Sunday 10th starting 6pm - Around the ins
 tallation, poetry reading, slam and experimental music, culinary socia
 l art.The Toot Yung Gallery is proud to be the scene of Mit Jai Inn’
 s Duckocracy from the 7th to 10th of April 2011.Implying a parallel be
 tween his humorous and satirical installation and Thailand’s politic
 al system, Mit Jai Inn aims to open the dialogue of the engagement of 
 Thai artists towards the Thai political disorder and the construction 
 of the society. Feeding and raising a large number of ducks for severa
 l weeks, Mit Jai Inn questioned himself about the present political sy
 stem in Thailand. Following books by Conrad Lorenz, he noticed that du
 cks can be educated to almost anything; you just have to place the cor
 rect information in its brain at the right time of his life. His readi
 ngs and observations led him to think that Thai people were treated as
  ducks by the power in place and hence, acted as ducks!  Inspired by 
 the very influential book by George Orwell, The animal farm, Mit Jai I
 nn decided to build an allegorical installation reflecting Thailand’
 s society, people and power system.  Mit Jai Inn’s installation is 
 not an end to itself but rather serves to unfold a more complex knot o
 f concerns about how Thai people and especially artists engage themsel
 ves towards the current political situation in Thailand.  It is an in
 vitation for all (and with different opinions on the actual political 
 issues in Thailand) to gather and talk openly. This ephemeral installa
 tion will be the scene for poets, musicians and culinary artists to de
 velop ideas for a better social and political system in Thailand.Sched
