Bangkok Art Biennale 2018 touches down at CentralWorld, showcasing the best of Thai and international art.
Centre stage is 14 Pumpkins, the world famous inflatable pumpkin collection by legendary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, on display in the Beacon III Zone. It marks the first time that her art is being exhibited in Thailand.
Bangkok Art Biennale runs from today until Feb 3. Other highlights include Indonesian artist Angki Purbandono, whose work, on display in the Groove Gallery Walk zone, illustrates the ethics of prison life. Thai artists Wisut Ponnimit and Kawita Vatanajyankur and Russian collective AES+F will all have their work shown on the world's largest digital interactive screen, the PanOramix @CentralwOrld.
Visitors are encouraged to get involved through special shows, workshops and arts and crafts activities. Multiplatform experiences are to be found all around the vast shopping mall.
Bangkok Art Biennale 2018 is a full-on art extravaganza aimed at creating an engaging interaction between visitors and the art pieces. You don't have to be an art lover to appreciate the beauty of the works on display.
CentralWorld plays host to Bangkok Art Biennale 2018 as part of its vision of seeing Bangkok become an art and culture destination not just for Thais but also visitors from around the world.
They are especially honoured to be exhibiting the iconic 14 Pumpkins.
Yayoi Kusama, who is 89 years old, is one of Japan's most important living artists. Her collections have been exhibited around the world, including in the USA, Sweden, Taiwan, Chile, Brazil and now Thailand.
