\n\t“We each have our own individual responsibilities, from past, present, to future, on and on, in one continuous path.”- Sathienkoses<\/em><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n \n\tBangkok Art and Culture Centre invites you to attend a thought inducing, conversation starting, and meaning questioning exhibition on the fundamentals of living, or the acts and cycles of “Birth, Ageing, Pain, Death, Eat, Excrete, Sex, and Sleep”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n\tAs a social philosopher once stated, “In order to get to know ourselves, we must first get to know others, the society we live in, and foreign societies unfamiliar to us. ” We can never be able to truly know or understand certain things holistically if we keep looking at them from our own personal points of view. Therefore, even more so in the modern era, “knowledge” is no longer the “truth” that we once believed laid written on etched stones or papers, but have evolved to become “possibilities” that stream through the social structure, through conversations, opinions, and their exchanges in both public and private spaces.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n\tIn a way, being in the world of “knowledge” may thus be “art”, in that “knowledge” may not always be found in education materials like text books, academic references, journals, etc. Often, it is the seemingly inconspicuous things, the things that are attempted to be hidden from us, and the things that are not deemed to be knowledge that actually do turn into “knowledge”. If the “courage to know” is the philosophy in the age of enlightenment that drives us to question and reason in the quest to seek knowledge, the “courage to not know” should also be upheld so that we may seek “new knowledge” through the process of “not knowing”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n\tThe Dialogic exhibition has thus been created to present the art of seeking knowledge through the process of questioning the state of our “humanity”, the cycle of birth, pain, and death and the inevitable actions of eating, excreting, sleeping, and having sex that happen along the way. One of the inspirations for this exhibition is the works of Sathienkoses, or Phraya Anuma Rajadhon, the commoner, philosopher, historian, linguist, literary, theologist, writer, translator, and contrarian that refuses to put an end to his curiosity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n\tThe name of the exhibition, “Takka Sangsan”, (Dialogic) is derived from combining the words “Takka” (Logic) and “Sangsan” (Socialize). “Takka” comes from the Sanskrit and Pali words meaning the act of thinking and considering, whereas today it is equivalent to the word “logic” in English which refers to correctness as a result of reason. “Sangsan” comes from the Sanskrit word meaning the act of socializing and conversing (having “dialogues”) between people as well as thoughts and objects.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n\tTherefore, the literal definition of “Takka Sangsan” (Dialogic) would be the meeting of thoughts that create social conversation spaces for knowledge through different branches of art that help to supplement and underline the quality of “possibility”, incentivizing the development of intelligence. It is the creation of a mechanism for transferring knowledge that is valuable, for the present all the way to the future.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n\tOrganized by the Exhibition Department, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre in cooperation with the Sathienkoses Nakaprateep Foundation<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n\tGuest Curator : Kittiphol Sarakkanonda <\/p>\n \n\tdownload Catalog of Dialogic exhibition Organized by the Exhibition Department, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre in cooperation with the Sathienkoses Nakaprateep Foundation<\/p>\n Guest Curator : Kittiphol Sarakkanonda<\/p>\n Artists: Graphic design by: Be Our Friend Studio ———————<\/p>\n What you need to know in viewing “Dialogic Exhibition”<\/p>\n • Photographing is allowed in this exhibition.
