DESCRIPTION:\n\nWRONG PLACE\nby Kamin Lertchaiprasert\n\nCurator: Jose
 f Ng\n\nDate: April 19 - May 31 2010\n\nExhibition @ Tang Contemporary
  Art\nUnit B-28 (Basement), Silom Galleria\n919/1 Silom Road (Soi 19),
  Bangkok 10500 Thailand\nMon ? Sat 11am ? 7pm (Closed on Sunday and Pu
 blic Holidays)\n\nOPENING RECEPTION: Tang Contemporary Art cordially i
 nvites you to the opening reception on Thursday, 29 April, 6 - 8 pm. T
 here will be an accompanying publication to be launched on this partic
 ular evening.\n\nEXHIBITION BACKGROUND\n\nThe heyday of relentless spe
 nding due to the tidal wave of global consumer culture in the last dec
 ade has been grounded almost to a halt, no less provided by the recent
  painful recession resulted in decaying crisis of faith and confidence
 . Still reeling from the loss ? huge unemployment, cut wages, on the d
 owngrade or mental stress ? we are capsized in a self-consciousness wh
 ere the present is wrought with disillusionment and where the future i
 s still uncertain and unknowable.\n\nWhat we know and don?t know, what
  we hide from or be confronted, what we will or won?t do from this unt
 enable experience makes one questions who is right or who is wrong. Wh
 at was wrong or what didn?t go right? We are, in effect, living in an 
 economic and social limbo.\n\n...WRONG PLACE, the new solo exhibition 
 by Kamin Lertchaiprasert, effectually deals with both reason and the s
 enses to the current vicissitudes of the region?s political, economic 
 and cultural life. An installation combining three-dimensional materia
 ls with two-dimensional illusionistic effects, the artworks were creat
 ed not just for an audience, but as an internal dialogue, part of the 
 artist?s attempt to understand and organize the world.\n\nThe exhibiti
 on?s title also refers to an invocation to contemplate the activities 
 of life and decision-making work within one another. By all means, a d
 ialogue concerning perception and human frailty - what is considered a
 ccurate or even expected may be otherwise so.\n\nFor this exhibition, 
 Lertchaiprasert has produced 24 each of monochrome paintings and wood 
 sculptures. Once again, these artworks were selected and then re-creat
 ed from his ?Sitting series?, a series of 366 daily production of char
 coal drawings and small sculptures in woodcarving. With an intense sen
 se of spirituality, the illustrated figures showed meditative gestures
  in correspond to the daily emotions and situations that the artist ha
 s encountered over the one year of creation of this series.\n\nAn inst
 allation also appeared in the form of two pink buffaloes, each facing 
 off a painting which is leaned against a large double-sided mirror. Th
 e whole gallery is then floored with colourful flowers, adding to the 
 extra element of theatricality to the whole set-up. This artwork was i
 nspired by one of Lertchaiprasert?s artist friend, Sompoch Aung, who h
 as composed a painting of a buffalo, instead of meandering around the 
 rice field, has run into a flower field where the buffalo cannot eat a
 nything. It was certainly a case of it being in a wrong place. This pa
 inting prompted Lertchaiprasert to relate to the societal circumstance
 s present in the world today and thus, the idea of the installation wa
 s born to simulate a reflected representation of society losing its wa
 y.\n\nStructurally, the exhibition manages to be both involved and det
 ached, taking the visitors on a journey where it forms a picture of in
 terplays and overlap meanings, and they open further to broader associ
 ation, beginning a dialogue with one?s inner thoughts as the installat
 ion evokes an ethereal experience.\n\nFor Public and Media Enquires, p
