Prestige (Thailand)

-

This month, Nova Contempora­ry gallery in Bangkok is presenting works by Chiang Maibased artist Kamin Lertchaipr­asert, in a solo show mysterious­ly entitled “”. And although it looks like blank space between the two quotation marks in the title, it’s actually meant to be filled with the artist’s name in white (thus only giving the appearance of being empty). It’s a cheeky bit of fun that queries the very idea of “seeing is believing”, a theme carried over into the various artworks on display. By tapping into the field of the in-between, Kamin meditates on the illusion of gaining and losing, the emptiness and weightless­ness of consciousn­ess, and the temporal and experienti­al concept of time

– all through the mediums of print, painting, sculpture and video. The show is free to view but the gallery is open by appointmen­t only (Tuesday through Saturday).
