SUMMARY:H Gallery # State Of Ridiculous
DESCRIPTION:STATE OF THE RIDICULOUS \nTuksina Pipitkul and Wantanee Siripattananuntakul \nFebruary 26 – April 26 2015 \nCurated by Brian Curtin \nBangkok\, Thailand – H Gallery is very pleased to announce the pairing of Tuksina Pipitkul and \nWantanee Siripattananuntakul\, two dexterous artists who employ the vernacular of popular \nculture to playful and provocative effect. State of the Ridiculous explores the tropes of the \nridiculous – silly\, laughable\, derisive – as a means of social commentary while also claiming the \ninevitable ridiculousness of much that purports to give profound meaning to our lives. \nMounted across the gallery’s main space and H Project Space\, the exhibition is an integrated \nexperience that carries visitors between the delightful and ominous. Themes include the \nfragility of social hierarchies\, the flux of cultural symbols and the arbitrary attribution of value \nin personal and market exchange. State of the Ridiculous includes a major new installation by \nWantanee that explores the often absurd appearances of societal inequality and \ndisenfranchisement. \nThe politics of play and playfulness has long informed the serious work of alternative and \ncritical cultures\, from art to activism. This exhibition explores the depoliticizing sensibilities of \nlocal understandings of play and fun as a retreat into wilful ignorance and failure to face \npolitical realities. Oscillating between the carefree and the consequential\, State of the \nRidiculous subversively demands that we look again at how we imagine and relate to difficult \ncircumstances in the contemporary world. \nTuksina Pipitkul graduated from Thailand’s Silpakorn University and holds an MFA from California State \nUniversity\, Northridge\, California. She has held artist’s residencies in Moriya\, Japan at ARCUS project \n(2001) and also at the Slade School of Fine Art\, London (2010). Tuksina has had solo exhibitions at the \nCedar Art Center in California (2000)\, Conference of Birds Gallery\, Bangkok (2008)\, the Japan Foundation \n(2001)\, and at the Oddyssee Gallery in Bangkok (2004).
