For its 5th edition, ANGELS &amp; MARA, the Bangkok Art Biennale is organised in collaboration with Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev) and the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), with the support of other private and public sectors. This year\u2019s Biennale features more than 200 contemporary artworks by 72 artists from 29 nationalities around the world, presented across 11 iconic venues in Bangkok.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking its title from Bangkok&#8217;s identity as the \u201cCity of Angels\u201d and the figure of Mara \u2014 associated with temptation, desire and forces that obstruct enlightenment \u2014 <em>ANGELS &amp; MARA<\/em> examines the contradictions embedded in contemporary existence. Across sacred architecture, museums, commercial spaces and cultural institutions, artists approach uncertainty, conflict, memory, spirituality, technology, identity and transformation from radically different perspectives. The theme does not insist on fixed opposites. Instead, it asks what happens when seemingly contradictory forces coexist \u2014 within societies, histories and ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bangkok Art and Culture Centre will present artworks by the following 36 artists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tara Al Dughaiter<br>Arahmaiani<br>Nobuyoshi Araki<br>Beyond Pressure<br>Margret Eicher<br>Mandy El-Sayegh<br>Gerard &amp; Kelly<br>Piero Golia<br>Amrita Hepi<br>Sumi Kanazawa<br>Amrit Karki<br>Klara Kristalova<br>Jason Lim<br>Htein Lin<br>Liu Hsing-Yu<br>Breda Lynch<br>Mahtab Hussain &amp; Guy Gunaratne<br>Le Hien Minh<br>Yasumasa Morimura<br>Mary Pakinee<br>Chomphunut Phuttha<br>Nazanin Pouyandeh<br>Naraphat Sakarthornsap<br>Sylvie Selig<br>Shin Min<br>Sin Wai Kin<br>Manit Sriwanichpoom<br>Manop Suwanpinta<br>Mika Tamori<br>Ralf Tooten<br>Ploenchan Vinyaratn<br>Bill Viola<br>Tawan Wattuya<br>Forrest Wong<br>Yuan Goang-Ming<br>Chetsada Phuwiang<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See you at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre since&nbsp;29 October 2026 &#8211; 28 February 2027<br>Main Exhibition Gallery, 9th Floor:&nbsp;29 October &#8211; 25 November 2026<br>Main Exhibition Gallery, 7th \u2013 8th Floor: 29 October 2026 &#8211; 28 February 2027<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More Information, please contact<br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bkkartbiennale.com\/\">bkkartbiennale.com<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bkkartbiennale\">BkkArtBiennale<\/a><br>Instagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bkkartbiennale\/\">bkkartbiennale<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organised by Bangkok Art Biennale Foundation Bangkok Art&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":96324,"template":"","archives":[554],"locations":[602,585,572],"attendees":[],"sponsors":[],"departments":[1037],"class_list":["post-96329","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","archives-main-exhibition-789","departments-exhibitions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
