SUMMARY:นิทรรศการ I'll Never Smile Again
DESCRIPTION:\n\n2 February –31 March 2012\nOpening Reception: Thursd
 ay 2 February 2012, 7pm\n**Artist kindly asks your corporation to only
  wear black and white color when attending this opening reception**\nW
 TF Gallery is pleased to announce the art installation “I'll never s
 mile again” by Prapat Jiwarangsan. Newly graduated from the Royal Co
 llege of Art, London, Prapat's work depicts the personal psychological
  confusion arising from Thailand’s political and social/class confli
 cts.\n The exhibition is inspired by current tensions surrounding Thai
 land’s complex relationship with personal liberty and freedom of exp
 ression. The exhibition’s concept derives from Prapat’s experience
 s during his fine-art study in London, funded by the Thai Government. 
 Through his obligatory relationship with, frequent visits to, and fina
 lly exhibition of his work in the historical spaces of the Office of E
 ducational Affairs, Royal Embassy of Thailand in London, Prapat observ
 es the extended meaning within the social and diplomatic protocol of t
 he Thai elite in the past, conveyed by objects and images on the premi
 ses. Referring to the historical information he witnessed there, he fo
 rms linkage to the 2010 violence in Bangkok that created a reign of te
 rror and confusion (particularly when viewed from outside his home cou
 ntry). As a result, Prapat conveys an acute sensitivity to politics an
 d contemporary society in an ongoing conceptual engagement.\nSearching
  for truth is not the objective of this show. What matters is critical
  discourse, inquiry, comparison, change of outlook, understanding matt
 ers which are beyond your prediction, and the value of being human, as
  well as subjects who are acclaimed as being above humans. The audienc
 es are allowed the interpret their own understanding of the works from
  their perception of these arts that display the \"truth\" beneath its
  surface. All matters shown here ask you to consider whether you can s
 till smile at these fictions.\nBorn in 1979, Prapat graduated with a M
 aster of Fine Art from the Royal College of Art, London in 2011. He is
  currently working as artist and officer at Office of Contemporary Art
  and Culture, Ministry of Culture, Thailand. His work has been shown i
 n Bangkok and London.\nThe exhibition comprises 10 works including pho
 to collages, installations, video art and multimedia works created in 
 2010-2012. The exhibition is a continued version of his show at the Of
 fice of Educational Affairs, Royal Embassy of Thailand in London, titl
 ed \"The Impossible Dream\", incorporating the mutation of meaning in 
 evolving contexts and new environments, and depicting the interaction 
 between the human mind and artistic rendering of political meaning.\nV
