January 5 - 31, 2012  JULIA SCHWADRON: EVERYTHING Curated by Brian Curtin H
Project Space is very pleased to announce an installation by New
York-based artist Julia Schwadron, who was recently a visiting
professor in the Faculty of Fine Arts at Chiang Mai University.
Schwadron’s work explores the visual form of language to create patterns and motifs that play with our perceptions of meaning. For H Project Space, the artist has transformed the word EVERYTHING in a manner that reflects the architectural details of the room. Concerned to challenge the typical disjuncture between our thoughts and sense of physical space, Schwadron has created large drawings of this decorative text to fit the environment of H Project Space. Further, a sculptural stack of limited edition prints of EVERYTHING sits at the center, offered as gifts for visitors to take away. Schwadron says of her installation, “The content of the word EVERYTHING is all encompassing. It is a word that is the opposite of NOTHING, but also has no specific images attached to it. We understand physical space as three dimensional and, typically, drawings are two dimensional. I would like to open the space for language to take up physical space”. Julia Schwadron was born in Providence, R.I., and raised in LA. Currently based in New York City, Schwadron is a graduate of UC San Diego and Tyler School of Art. She has received a number of fellowships and awards, including the Joan Mitchell Fellowship at the Vermont Studio Center in 2006. Schwadron was a founding member of The Matzo Files on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and was a visiting professor at the University of Iowa (2007-09) and Chiang Mai University (2010 -11). She exhibits internationally. |

MICHAEL LEE AND
OLIVIER PIN-FAT: SONGS OF THE CITY
Curated by Brian
Curtin
H
Gallery is very pleased to announce an exhibition of two artists who
explore the urban environment in radical contrast. Singapore-based
Michael Lee creates cool, analytical renderings of lost, destroyed and
impossible cities, examining these sites as sources of individual
desires, fantasy and collective memory and need. Olivier Pin-Fat’s
photographs of his adopted home of Bangkok are inflected by
drug-induced visions, a profound sense of the animistic, and
disruptions of the photographic surface. While Lee dissects ethereal
knowledge of places and spaces, Pin-Fat registers the outer reaches of
subjective experience. At some point, the works of both artists meet.
Songs of the City most immediately suggests how forms of representation and image-making can demarcate a distinction between functional understandings and wild experience. However, while this exhibition explores dissonances and tensions between different forms, the linking of Lee and Pin-Fat essentially maps intersections and idiosyncrasies that explode exclusive worldviews. Songs of the City faces the terms by which our architectural structures and environments can reflect and accommodate our sense of self, and being. Lee re-imagines the limits that Pin-Fat dissipates. What emerges is a sense of experience and understanding as one and the same for the structures that frame our lives. Both artists will provide a tour of Songs of the City on Saturday, October 15 from 2pm. Michael Lee is rapidly developing an international reputation as an artist of note. He also works as a curator and his practice generally addresses representations of the built environment in terms of objects, diagrams, situations, and text. Lee has exhibited in a number of international contexts including The 2nd Asia Trienniale Manchester 2011, The 3rd Singapore Biennale 2011, The 8th Shanghai Biennale 2010, The 3rd Guangzhou Triennial 2008 and the International Film & Video Association Film Award & Festival 1997, where he was awarded. His curatorial projects include Between, Beside, Beyond: Daniel Libeskind's Reflections and Key Works 1989-2014 at the Singapore Art Museum in 2007 and Lee was given the Young Artist Award (Visual Arts) 2005 by the National Arts Council, Singapore. He recently completed a residency at the Royal College of Art in London and his works for H Gallery have been nominated for the 2011 Signature Art Prize at the Singapore Art Museum. Olivier Pin-Fat’s photographs have been described as ‘sensitive, astonishing, fictional and lyrical’. He was born in Britain and has been based in Asia for nearly two decades, from where he exhibits and publishes extensively. Exhibitions include The Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, Fotografia Internazionale di Roma, Kathmandu Photo Gallery, Le Centre d’Art Contemporain de Basse-Normandie, Le Centre National des Arts Plastiques, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Pingyao and Lianzhou International Photo Festivals, Nederlands Foto Instituut, Les Rencontres d'Arles Photographie and Noordelicht. He is represented by prospekt in Milan and his book DEAD LIGHT, BONE DRY which was shortlisted for The European Publishers Award for Photography will be published in 2012.

 Forward/Backward: 8 Myanmar Second-Wave Contemporary Artists Curated by Moe Satt Aung Myat Htay, Ma Ei, Maung Day, Min Thein Sung Moe Satt, Thu Myatl Thu Rein, Wai Mar Nyunt Artists’ talks on Sunday, 27 November, from 2pm The
avant-garde is dead, long live the avant-garde.
H Project Space is very pleased to announce a showcase of experimental works by artists from Myanmar who have emerged in the last ten years. These artists follow the precedents of an avant-garde from the 90s, the first generation to be exposed to international contemporary art practices further to the Myanmar government liberalizing its foreign policies in 1988. The artists in Forward/Backward work outside the art market, and this exhibition is a snapshot of a contemporary art scene and an insight into the dedication of its members. The title raises a question about the current state of Myanmar: is this country improving or degenerating? Sometimes these artists gain a sense of the future and sometimes they feel trapped in the past. Myanmar and Thailand have historically shared comparable values, in religion and in art. But contemporary Thailand is changing rapidly and differences between both countries are enormous. The Thai art scene is relatively more open and Myanmar’s artists have limited experience with international showcases and only partial knowledge of international art scenes. The artists in Forward/Backward come from a slowly changing society. How will Thailand perceive contemporary art from Myanmar? How will this audience appreciate us? Supported by Goethe Institute
and Presented by Beyond Pressure

Jedsada Tangtrakulwong - TWIST Curated by Brian Curtin
Bangkok, Thailand. H Project Space is very pleased to announce the
third installation for a space that has been described as the most
beautiful room in Bangkok. Jedsada describes his site-specific practice
as “an examination of the parts of a structure that renders that
particular space different from others. Each space has its own
character. I use the distinctive parts of a space as the starting point
for my art”.For Twist, the artist was inspired by the lattice feature that functions as a natural air vent for the room. Further to repeated visits, Jedsada considered its proximity to the ceiling and consequently noticed the typically unnoticed traces of spiders and their webs. Seeing a correspondence between these forms and the diagonal, diamond shapes of the lattice, he has created complex structures that are integrated with the architecture while seemingly trying to break free. The cool elegance of H Project Space is simultaneously announced and disrupted, as Twist shifts between the formalist and metaphorical. Jedsada Tangtrakulwong is a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute and holds an MFA (Distinction) from the Slade School of Fine Art in London. He is a lecturer in Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts at Mahasarakham University in the Northeast of Thailand and exhibits internationally. Jedsada recently completed a residency in the Yunnan (China) and was awarded an Asia Pacific Artist Fellowship at the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea, in 2009. *Please note the H Project

Lisa brown - Nothing is True Curated by Brian Curtin Bangkok,
Thailand. H Project Space is very pleased to announce a
site-specific installation by the UK-born artist Lisa Brown. Nothing is
True responds to the particular qualities and architectural details of
H Project Space as the artist allowed this 19th century, colonial-style
room determine her decisions. With a minimal use of materials, Brown's
installation draws our attention to a series of inter-relationships:
inside and out, the gallery and the built environment, and art and the
world at large.
Brown's practice as an artist is rooted in a fascination with the unknown, the undiscovered and the nature of things. She often draws inspiration from the physicality of her surroundings - from the minute to the colossal and from the mundane to the complex – and works with everyday objects, materials and customs. A keen sense of experimentation characterizes her art, informed by a sharp thinking process. Lisa Brown is a Bangkok-based artist and lectures on the International Program in Communication Design at Chulalongkorn University. She holds a MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art and Design in London and is a member of the artist curatorial group Askew. This is her first exhibition in Bangkok.

H
Gallery is very pleased to announce an exhibition that explores aspects
of the contemporary significance of painterly abstraction. Yvonne
Hindle is influenced by Taoist concepts of time and flux and paints
with a baroque yet romantic aesthetic. Mit Jai Inn creates canvases of
subtly symbolic shapes and with gently rendered geometric surfaces,
sometimes double-sided. And Chat Jenchitr abstracts metaphors from
Buddhist philosophy with an often dazzling use of color.
Each of the artists in Somewhere in the Distance consciously engages an oscillation between the tangible and intangible, the referential and elusive, and the coded and esoteric. Further, each artist evokes a variety of lineages, art historical and otherwise. Both these aspects prompt consideration of the very notion of abstract painting within another oscillation: East and West. In this respect, Somewhere in the Distance offers a soft rebuke to the prevarications of ‘discourse’, art historical and otherwise, that would seek divisive categorizations and definitions. Instead this exhibition suggests possibilities for sensual and/or embodied experience as one means to engage visual knowledge for the contemporary, global, context. Yvonne Hindle is a London-based artist and senior lecturer at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design. She co-edited and contributed to the books Paint Theory Paint Practice (Lee Press) and Base and Awesome (Article Press and Ikon Gallery) and exhibits internationally. Mit Jai Inn is one of Thailand’s leading contemporary artists and has a long history of experimental art practice including The Chiang Mai Social Installation, a now legendary public art project that was a forerunner of relational aesthetics and so-called politico-aesthetic art in this country. Chat Jenchitr is an emergent artist based in Bangkok. He graduated from the Pratt Institute in New York in 2008 and held a solo show at H Gallery in 2010. |

August 7 - September 7, 2011 Chitti Kasemkitvatana - Fall Silent/Mysterious Flights Curated by
Dr. Brian Curtin H Gallery Bangkok is very pleased to announce the
inaugural installation for H Project Space, a special project room for
experiments in contemporary art and curatorial practice.
On long flights across continents we are typically informed of the times at our origin and destination by a digital screen. The places below us as we travel, however perceptible or imperceptible, exist without time and seemingly disappear, becoming void. Space and time merge and place becomes non-place. We are contained above and experience our journey as a state of in-between-ness; the experience of void. Love is also the experience of such. Love for an object, an experience or a person. Much can disappear in view of a loved other. In the practice of meditation, void is a state that occurs when we detach ourselves to a profound degree. By maintaining stillness we experience timelessness and non-place. Void is emptiness, detachment and an interval. Chitti Kasemkitvatana Chitti Kasemkitvatana was born in Bangkok and graduated in fine art from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia. He was actively involved in the Bangkok art scene from 1995-2001 when he was a curator at About Studio/About Cafe, lecturer, and co-editor of Ver magazine, founded by Rirkrit Tiravanija. From 2003-2010 Chitti lived as a Buddhist monk in Northern Thailand. He has exhibited internationally and is the recipient of a 2011 About Art Foundation grant. |

  Pinaree Sanpitak - Body Borders
3-part exhibition The Art Center, Center of Academic Resources, Chulalongkorn University Body Borders: Anything Can Break August 6 - September 2, 2011 H Gallery Body Borders: Flying Cubes August 6 - September 4, 2011 100 Tonson Gallery Body Borders: Paintings August 25 - September 25, 2011 Three
of Bangkok’s most established contemporary art venues are very pleased
to announce an ambitious collaborative showcase of Pinaree Sanpitak’s
recent works. Two interactive installations and a series of paintings
reveal new interests and developments in Pinaree’s on-going exploration
of the symbolic and experiential dimensions of corporeality.
H Gallery will exhibit a large number of sculptural forms inspired by origami and woven from rattan. Viewers are invited to engage with these near-surreal motifs of cubes with wings. At The Art Center an installation of hanging forms will also engage the visitor’s body but with sensors that trigger especially composed soundtracks. While both these exhibitions encourage a reflection on our physical being in terms of movement, space and touch, Pinaree’s new paintings at 100 Tonson Gallery explore the plastic and metaphorical potential of her motifs as objects for the contemplation of existence. Pinaree states, “The body, which has been a continuing focus in my work for the past 20 years - explores sensory experience and perception. Recently, my son’s interest in pursuing studies in fashion design has led me to look at the body through the ideas of adornment: How the body is epitomized or minimized. What matters to me is how the body becomes a site of transit, contemplation and understanding. The body - part or whole - ponders, wonders and challenges.” Pinaree Sanpitak was born in 1961 and is one of Thailand’s most visible artists internationally. She recently took part in Stealing the Senses at Govett-Brewster in New Zealand and in Here/Not Here at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum. |
