Bangkok CityCity Gallery is hosting an exhibition This page is intentionally left blank by internationally renowned artist Pratchaya Phinthong, curated by Thanavi Chotpradit. It is Phinthong's first solo exhibition with the gallery and a rare occasion to view his work in Thailand.
The originating idea of This page is intentionally left blank was stemmed from Phinthong’s visit to The National Gallery of Thailand in 2009, he spotted the logbook which later became working materials of this exhibition. Chotpradit is jointly examining some possible aspects towards the exhibition, and her questions concerning the exhibition-making revolve around the idea of the power structure of the art world, its invisible labor forces, and the question of "what makes art ART."
The epilogue to the exhibition marks a return to the origins of the artist, Pratchaya Phinthong. A dialogue between the artist and curator takes place on the last day of the exhibition. Words and traces of ideas are left in the exhibition space as clues for viewers to interpret the meaning behind each artwork. The talk is in Thai with an English summary.
