TOUCHING AT A DISTANCE

BRAND NEW ART PROJECT 2016
AN EXHIBITION BY THATCHATHAM SILSUPAN

WTF GALLERY, BANGKOK
NOV 26 – DEC 29, 2016

Bangkok University Gallery’s BRANDNEW 2016 art project aims to give opportunity to active young artist to improve, learn and develop their works. The project has now been running for over ten years,  resulting in the development of and support from a strong network of art institutions and galleries. The guest curators and young artists are invited to  establish themselves and create quality works at an  international level and, for this  11th BRANDNEW art project, the guest curator was given the  full right and freedom to select the works without any open call.
 
Thatchatham Silsupan, a young lecturer from the Media Arts and Design Programme, the Faculty of Fine Arts, Chiang Mai University graduated with the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Music from the University of California, Berkeley, USA. Thatchatham is interested in sound. He is a composer and he has special interest in ‘noise.’

If we cannot identify something, it means that we cannot control it and the easiest way to manage it is to  remove it from the system. The notion is similar to noise, which is called a nonmusical sound or disturbing sound with  negative meaning. Thatchatham’s work opens a new space for unwanted sound as he records sounds from the surroundings that we usually hear but never listen to. Each sound is composed through a  process of musical aesthetics, bringing that sound that we never listen to back and creating a new sense of appreciation. For physical perception, Thatchatham creates speakers with small papers to amplify those unwanted sounds. These speakers generate vibration within that particular space to imply the perception of these sounds whose existence we never recognized previously.
