“My work deals with familiar objects and everyday experiences. I work across different media from drawings, installations, photography, graffiti to interactive and participatory projects building drama to question memory, nostalgia, existence and space, making a new perspective between the viewer and the work. With this notion I want to produce new thoughts and emotions of anger, comedy, fear, abstraction and vision.”

FIRST-TIME IN THAILAND

www.espenkrukhaug.com

Espen Krukhaug is a Norwegian artist based in London UK. Espen Krukhaug with his new photography project ‘Before Dawn’ was started the exhibition tour at Wuhan, China in March 2008, then to Norway, UK, USA and officially arrives Bangkok, Thailand in September 2008 by the Norwegian Council and Embassy.
The exhibition included Espen Krukhaug’s new set of photography and photo book with music, which inspired from his photo. The photo book forward has been written by Philip Chevron, a lead member of an Irish/British band ‘The Pogues’, and the music track from an underground Norwegian experiment band called, ‘Orange Dark’.

“The project ”Before Dawn” was started up in the end of 2004, and in it I have explored the night time. Then more specific insomnia and solitariness. And I have tried to find the total silentness you can find under the night time in a town. I have always liked the quit times of the night. A time when most people are sleeping and their for missing a lot of beautiful things. The streets that in the daytime is full of people stressing from a to b, but in the night time are all quiet and empty. A time you can feel like the only person in an abandoned world. Also what is important is the light. With so much light pollution in the cities, it will never be dark. But again are the sources to the incredible colors in my work.”
“The photography’s have been taken in China, England, Norway, Russia, Scotland and USA.”

Nospace Final Blood Match by Andrew Jones

August 15 - 30, 2008

Opening Night: Friday 15 August 2008, 7-10pm

Andrew Jones FIRST-TIME exhibition!

Andrew Jones is a former music writer and promoter. He was one of the founders of Push a night for progressive and experimental electronica and hip-hop in Orlando, Florida. He has also written for publications such as Xlr8r, Skyscraper, The Orlando Weekly, Sleazenation, The Wire, and others. Additionally, Andrew also started the LNF Pool a monthly night for free improviser that tied local disco djs to free jazz bassists and he wrote software in Supercollider to improvise with them. Mr. Jones has also done a few little art pieces over the years including a small piece called 7 Incomplete Improvisations for Free Manifesta and wrote some copy for guydebord.com by Miltos Manetas. Working as a critic he became more aware of the various vocabularies the arts use for expression and his work as music critic became a sharpened analytical tool that frequently revealed the nostalgiac underpinnings of late nineties pop music and electronica. Since then he's worked on several electronic projects including an album with Tom Smith and has devised a few conceptual pieces here there and the occasional short story.

"No Space Final Bloodmatch For my piece, I am turning No Space into a level in the video game Team Fortress 2. Basically, people will deathmatch in the gallery. What it's about is the way video games let us play with space. Photography lets you take a picture of a place, but games are literally making it possible to experience architecture remotely. The video game Doom 1, for instance, was downloaded over 10 million times in two years. The space of Doom has been visited and experienced by over 10 million people, it's one of the few places that has become iconic, a place so experienced that its a common vocabulary. Doom's first level, might be the closet humanity has come to a common room, while the Pyramids of Giza have been visited by tourists before the Greeks decided to vacation there, Doom managed to garner more tourists in its first 6 months on the Internet than visit Rome in one year. What games are becoming are communally experienced spaces, the same way photographs of Nguyen Van Lem's execution became icons of the Vietnam war, levels from Super Mario Brothers represent nostalgia for our youth.. Games represent a new kind of vocabulary that pop culture is only beginning to explore. I want to show not just that games are allowing interactions previously impossible in these places, but that we're coming close to being able to throw around space the way photography throws around sight... and that we can also shoot grenade launchers in our friend's houses."

I come in peace by Julie Lavoie

I come in peace by Julie Lavoie

August 15 - 30, 2008

Opening Night: Friday 15 August 2008, 7-10pm

Julie Lavoie is a young artist from Montreal, Canada. She graduated from Mathematics at the University of Waterloo and now lives in Asia.

"Bangkok is a city of invaders. Almost no one is from here. Everyone has come for their own reasons: the taxi drivers, the food vendors, the farang, the money boys, even the elephants. The young, the desperate, the ambitious -- all of us have come to the city as the place of our hope and our desire, part of the greater currents of urbanization and globalization in 21st century Asia.
I used the playful yet iconic figure of the space invader to convey this sense of being an outsider wanting to make your mark in a new world, wanting to invade with your own style, having everyone pay attention, not being lost in the crowd."

Pasajero by Xavier Comas

Pasajero by Xavier Comas

July 17 - 27, 2008

Xavier Comas FIRST-TIME solo exhibition in Bangkok

XAVIER COMAS
1970, Barcelona, Spain.

Xavier studied at University of Barcelona’s Faculty of Fine Arts. He focused on book cover art for several years. His design, illustration and photographic work have been published on many covers of international non-fiction and fiction books.
Xavier is now based in Bangkok from where he travels around Asia. His photographic work explores awareness underlying human relationships. Pasajero is actually his first serious attempt as photographer.

“Pasajero means passenger in spanish but it also means fleeting, ephemeral. This double sense encompassed my journey in Tokyo’s rail system: as Spanish passenger riding trains randomly, but also as beholder of the transience of daily life through haphazard encounters with Japanese passengers. Tokyo trains and stations invite to introspection, revealing a fascinating inner world of silence concealed behind a luring outer facade of visual seduction. Pasajero proposes an unusual photographic journey in a transit space wherein emptiness is full of meaning.”

'Curious, seemingly insignificant detailing of the metropolitan sprawl is typically ignored by the average urban dweller. But for Bangkok-based Germans landscape architect, artist and conceptual photographer Christian Phongphit, it is the random textures and patterns peppering vernacular objects and structures that turn the city into a living gallery.
Inspired by the weathered roofs of Bangkok buses, Phongphit photographs the paint cracked surfaces by standing atop pedestrian bridges. Mundane and unseen, the bus detailing is blown up and printed across canvases manifesting as an abstract painting.'

Wanlop Chantarakolkit FIRST-TIME exhibition!

Wanlop Chantarakolkit is a young Thai lighting designer who won the Honorable Mention award from IESNY Student Design Competition New York. He started his career at SBLD Studio NY and CBBLD NY since 2007. Currently, Wanlop is a MFA Lighting Design student candidate at Parsons University, New York.
‘Bangkok Night Forest’ is Wanlop Chantarakolkit’s first lighting installation exhibition in Bangkok. (Nospace Gallery: March 19 – April 12, 2008)

"Representing the urban night light in the architectural space creates the new experience to the audiences. The colorful of Bangkok night light is just a skin of the live society. Pink, which is being used to present the illusion, fascination, and passion in the night society, works differently with light under the point of views, positions, and light levels. Black light is brought to stimulate human color perception and continue inspire the feelings and imaginations. For the lighting installation, the lighting, emerged to the architecture, emphasizes the architectural details and environmentally affect to the people’s visions in the space. In term of architectural space, windows are standing for the eyes which connect the views outside to the inside. The views from the windows tell the stories to the audience without interrupting the interior space."
