EXPO ‘(Not) An Englishman in Bangkok: Y-UK’ – ATTA Gallery, Bangkok (Thailand) – 28 Mars-28 Avril 2013
« (Not) An Englishman in Bangkok: Y-UK »
The Exhibition “(Not) an Englishman in BKK: Y-UK” presents woks of young Thai jewellery artists/designers who received their post graduate Jewellery Design degrees from various prominent institutes in the United Kingdom.
Living and studying abroad pose a unique experience for us Thai students as we are constantly pulled by two forces. One force comes from new experiences in foreign land, along with its new and exciting culture. Another force comes from old habits from our Mother Land and its culture and traditions that are so familiar to us. The two forces constantly shake us and make us think more about what’s going on around us and how to form our ways of communication.
Participating artists/designers have created pieces of jewellery based on their personal thoughts, interests and experiences.
The branching out of thoughts of these designers who have stepped out of traditional boundary into another reflects new movement in the contemporary jewellery scene in Thailand. It makes us look back and re-examine possibility and boundary of jewellery…and that maybe there is no boundary at all…
