Human/Time/Space By 17 artists



DOB Hualamphong Gallery will hold the art exhibition:

Human/Time/Space
By 17 artists
Curated by Ohm Phanphiroj
Open reception on Thursday, 17 March, 2011 at 6.30 PM
Exhibition period : March 17 – April 24, 2011

Human/Time/Space is an exhibition that investigates how humans construct the concepts of time and space and attempt to make sense out of them. Human beings are complex; perhaps nowhere more so than when combining concepts of time and space. Philosophically, humans are trapped in a concept of time and space, and we function and try to make sense of how time and space affect us. Time and space do not exist in a physical world as they have no attributes. We understand them because our minds create meanings for them and use them as an indicator to how to operate and go about life.


This theme allowed each artist to interpret and use their imagination -- coming up with a story, a vision, a commentary—a unique take which is solid, artistic, and worthy.

A highlight of the show is the inclusion of both highly recognized international photographers and young local student artists and professionals, as we explored and searched for some best young new artists to support.



The artworks range from the banal subjective to the emotionally charged and provoking images and from documentary and imaginative figures.

EXHIBITION BACKGROUND
For some time sex has been defined as the biological difference between men and women, and gender as Feminine/masculine, male/female, women/men, boy/girl - terms of sexual and gender division like these permeate the way we think and talk about ourselves and each other. On most occasions we found ourselves easily believe in something just the way we were told, that makes me wonder whether this ease is illusory? One may speculate whether being a woman necessarily implies being "feminine". One may question why young women are often referred to as girls, while men are seldom referred to as boys. Is living in a non-stereotypically feminine manner a reliable indication that one is a bad woman?

There is a folk story of a lady who cannot proof her profound love to her man because her hair was not long enough to stretch through the pagoda’s base, and another folklore about how a women being punished if she love someone before getting married thus led to many queries. Who assign rules to women? To whom women being Possessed? “Possessed/Poach” examines the inquiries in “being woman” under the social-constructed role we might never seriously investigate the underling reasons. Or maybe the only reason is being woman.
