Thailande : Bangkok Art Biennale
The Bangkok Art Biennale, organised in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), The Fine Arts Department (FAD), Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev) and One Bangkok, with the support of other private and public sectors, is delighted to announce 31 additional international artists and two more venues for the Bangkok Art Biennale (BAB), titled Nurture Gaia.
The expansion of artists and venues further enriches the city-wide event and continues to spotlight Southeast Asia’s vibrant art scene while also bringing diverse international perspectives to the continent. The various Biennale-host locations include ancient heritage sites such as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and the Temple of Dawn, the Museum Siam, art galleries, and more. Running from 24 October 2024 to 25 February 2025, the Biennale will showcase 76 leading artists from 39 countries across 11 venues.
Nurture Gaia draws its inspiration from the maternal figure of Mother Earth, symbolising her historical expressions as a nurturer and giver of life across cultures. Conceptually extending upon this, the Bangkok Art Biennale will explore vital contemporary themes such as anthropology, collectivism, ecology, feminism, and the politics of time and place. The ‘Gaia Hypothesis’ proposes that the Earth functions like a living organism that supports life across organic and inorganic matter.
