Project
304, Bangkok
(Gridthiya Gaweewong in-charge for IAS)
Functioned
as a non-profit art space, Project 304 was founded by a small
group of Thai artists and art lovers in July 1996 to bridge
the gap between art and society and to integrate art into
the community. This visual arts organization is dedicated
to providing exhibition space and promoting public access
to the contemporary art. Project 304 focuses on nurturing
artistic dialogue. Its goals are to use art as a means of
uniting the contemporary arts community and bring greater
awareness and appreciation of the arts to Thailand. Project
304 provides a forum for emerging local artists, as well as
for well-established national and international ones. Artists
will be able to develop and hone their skill, exchange information,
execute collaborative projects, and exhibit their works in
an interdisciplinary setting. While not shy away from aesthetics,
exhibition will be concept-oriented, focusing on social, cultural
and political issues. They will range from painting, sculpture,
installations, prints, and photography.
Project
304 offers 90 square meters of exhibition space, in a three
storey town house building. A committee consisting of artists,
art professors and art lovers will develop the curatorial
themes and select the artists. The staff will also act as
a coordinator for artists who want to exhibit their works
in public spaces. Support will be given especially to younger
artists, as well as to more established local and international
ones.
All of
us at Project 304 look forward to collaborating with anyone
interested in using art as a means of reshaping our society.
We invite artists and those who care for contemporary art
to join.
