Soho House Bangkok
The Soho House Bangkok art collection, curated by Sara Terzi, Senior Art Collections Manager, reflects the diversity of the contemporary art scene in Thailand
Curated by Senior Art Collections Manager, Sara Terzi, the art collection for Soho House Bangkok holds the work of 33 artists born or based in Thailand. The aim of this collection was to reflect the diversity of the contemporary art scene in Bangkok and more generally in Thailand, by including artists working in different mediums and at different stages of their career. The artists’ practices touch upon a large range of themes, such as womanhood, spirituality, global warming, gender identity, the interpretation of folklore and myth, and post-Covid societal issues.
The intimate scale of the House allowed us to think and utilise the space differently, for example by having a unique installation piece by artist Aracha Cholitgul under the staircase or by commissioning a site-specific artwork by Pannaphan Yodmanee, which is seamlessly placed in the atrium vaulted ceiling.
The works in the collection draw from traditional themes and techniques while giving them a fresh interpretation, with many of the artists exploring what it means to be Thai today.
Museum-level and emerging artists in the Soho House Bangkok art collection include: Angkrit Ajchariyasophon, Anuwat Apimukmongkon, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Aracha Cholitgul, Cedric Arnold, Jakkai Siributr, Jarasporn Chumsri, Jaruwat Normrubporn, Gi-ok Jeon, Juli Baker and Summer, Kamonlak Sukchai, Kanchalee Ngamdamronk, Kawita Vatanajyankur, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Kraiwitch Tungsomboon, Maitree Siriboon, Manit Sriwanichpoom, Mark Corfield-Moore, Miti Ruangkritya, MM Kosum, Naraphat Sakarthornsap, Nawin Nuthong, Noppanan Thannaree, Olarn Chiaravanont, Pannaphan Yodmanee, Pinaree Sanpitak, Prae Pupityastaporn, Prapat Jiwarangsan, Som Supaparinya, Supawich Weesapen, Thidarat Chantachua, and Tintin Cooper.
