“There’s a desire for experiences that take us out of our bodies - into a different time and feeling. I’m interested in how shared moments and spaces—whether museums, galleries, or theaters—create these feelings. For me, museums are ritual spaces where we collectively travel through time via objects.”

“I learned a very precious language called jazz. It’s hard to explain what it is, but there’s something about freedom.”

“The Kunsthalle (Bangkok) is not a finished model: it is a space that continues to grow, shift, and redefine itself over time. Just as each exhibition leaves a physical and conceptual trace, the institution itself remains in flux, adapting to new artistic and social conditions. Through our architectural expansion, urban interventions, and global positioning, we aim to create an art institution that is not just located in Bangkok, but that actively reshapes the way we think about art institutions as a whole, where curating is not about organizing exhibitions, but about building a new cultural architecture altogether.”

GAI QIZHENG: DRIFT ALONG
GAI QIZHENG: DRIFT ALONG
In the exhibition Drift Along, artist Gai Qizheng invites us on a journey that intertwines personal history, local knowledge, and the universal symbolism of rafts as vehicles of migration, survival, and cultural memory. Through his multidisciplinary practice, Gai explores how rafts, as both functional objects and cultural artefacts, carry systems of knowledge and reveal personal, familial, and communal histories. In our initial conversation with the artist, he credited the work, Current of Contemporary Art, by the art group The Play—with its focus on aimless adventure—as the starting point for his inquiry into floating devices. His research into rafts ultimately spans and ties the three areas and different projects—through his work we are immersed into the knowledge systems of Chao Bai River, Zuo Tan, and Qingdao.
