The 1984 + 1 Gallery in Suphan Buri will host its first group show, titled "Suphan's Echoes", with an opening celebration on Saturday. Curated by fellow artist Preecha Raksorn, the group show features a wide range of thought-provoking works by established and upcoming Thai artists and will include painting, sculpture, multimedia and dance performances.

Suphan Buri dates back to the 9th century and is rich in historical heritage. It was an important border town during the period of the Ayutthaya kingdom, and as a result, many significant battles were waged in the province. In addition to its many historical sites, Suphan Buri offers natural attractions such as caves, waterfalls, bird parks and fish farms. The town is located 100km from Bangkok.
The 1984 + 1 Gallery in Suphan Buri is located inside a former rice mill with over 4,000m² of presentation space. The opening celebration takes place at 3pm on Saturday, and the show will run until Aug 6. Visitors are welcome every day of the week between 10am and 6.30pm. Parking is available.
