Tanat Teeradakorn
National Opera Complex
Jan 29 – Mar 30
About the show
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 contains 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 fuses 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.
