Conflicting Ambitions: Thailand Biennale Phuket

To be included in the Thailand Biennale is to have “made it” as an artist, or to be on the verge of doing so, propelled by the biennial’s implicit seal of approval. That was, at least, how it was described during my visit: as Southeast Asia’s equivalent of the Venice Biennale. In Phuket, the fourth edition certainly performs the ambition of matching its European North Star in scale…

Eyes glazed, gazing vacantly at the ceiling, she philosophizes: “who am I?” The scene feels full of both melodrama and parody, a tone that runs through Hekmat’s recent work.

Mediated Skins: Marianna Uutinen at HUA International

This article is part of our feature topic Abjection. At Hua International, works by Marianna Uutinen, made 30 years apart, manifest and indulge in many things, of which the body is one. Though the artist herself would not necessarily use the term abject to describe the series, I consider this slippery category to offer a tempting position from which to think about Uutinen’s show…
