Lifeboat #2551

14 JUNE - 26 JULY 2008
exhibition by Contemporary artists from Thailand at 4A, Sydney!
It brings together a cross generational mix of media artists
from Thailand.

Michael Shaowanasai takes the curatorial role in selecting the works and presenting the concept. Lifeboat #2551..."Stuck together in a small vessel, Thai media artists must work together
to stay afloat. At the same time they are also trying to out-live
one another. While lost at sea, they are waving and screaming in order
to get any kind of attention hoping to be rescued. Some of them are
fortunate and have been ‘scooped up’ by a passing European liner. The
rest of them can only watch and hold on to what they have - their talent,
their pride and their hopes."

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: SATURDAY 14 JUNE, 2PM
CURATOR TALK: SATURDAY 21 JUNE, 2PM
