» It has been 242 years since Bangkok was established on the eastern banks of the Chao Phraya River in 1782 by King Rama I. Things have changed considerably since then and to showcase modern Bangkok in its various aspects, including society, urban landscape, lifestyle, art and culture, the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre invited 13 artists, creators, activists and researchers from various fields to reflect on the city through creative works, archives, activities and contemporary media at an exhibition titled "Bangkok 242, A Space For Sharing".
Change is constant

» When entering the exhibition "City Adaptation Lab!" at Bangkok Art & Culture Centre (BACC), visitors cannot miss the sculpture Rok-Ra-Bat (Pandemic) by Kaninyan Chandrasma. It is a broken tube sitting on a tall pedestal. According to the description, one small silver dot breaks out from the broken tube and multiplies into numerous silver dots which resemble a pandemic spreading around the world. If visitors take a closer look at the silver dots, they will see their reflections in each. This raises the question if the origin of the pandemic is people.
