Thai artist Tanat Teeradakorn uses music, movement and image to investigate forms of resistance.
A new commission and the first solo exhibition in Europe by Bangkok-based multi-disciplinary artist, musician, DJ and graphic designer, Tanat Teeradakorn. Exploring the parallel histories of Thailand and the UK through references to pop culture, revolution and monarchy, the exhibition will contain an immersive installation mimicking a tourist city souvenir stand, replete with products illustrating instances of refusal and resistance. Inside the stand, a new audio and video work will fuse TikTok-style viral dance routines with Thai folk dance and opera, continuing the artist’s ongoing research on cross-cultural sounds.
This project is supported by the British Council’s Connections Through Culture Programme.
Gasworks’ Exhibitions programme is supported by Catherine Petitgas, Gasworks Exhibitions Supporters and Arts Council England.
