Warin Lab Nomad announces the inaugural edition of its place-based contemporary art platform, Of Times and Places (Kala-Thesa), titled Fak Kha Non: The Other Side. Running from 10 December 2026 to 28 February 2027, the research-led project unfolds across seven historic sites throughout the riverside district of Khlong San.
Moving away from white-cube spaces, the exhibition embeds contemporary practice directly into the district’s built fabric in seven site-specific venues: Somdet Chaopraya Institute of Psychiatry, Wat Thong Thammachat Worawihan, Wat Thong Noppakhun, Princess Mother Memorial Park, Anongkaram Public Library, Nomad Art Residency Bangkok and Thang Nguan Hah Heritage House.
The platform convenes established Thai practitioners alongside emerging figures, including Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook, Navin Rawanchaikul, Kamol Tassananchalee, Kamol Phaosavasdi, Manit Sriwanichpoom, Imhathai Suwatthanasilp, Krit Ngamsom, and Prateep Suthathongthai. Longstanding local lineages—including the Bunnag, Maskati, and Nana families—have opened their private family archives, photographs, and oral histories to collaborating artists.

In partnership with the Somdet Chaopraya Institute of Psychiatry, Chulalongkorn University (CU) and Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University (BSRU), the project conducts empirical research assessing the psychological effects of art engagement on public well-being and social isolation. The programme features neurodivergent practitioners and Art Brut collectives, re-evaluating institutional boundaries surrounding artistic production.
The Other Side is co-hosted by Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. It is also an official fringe programme of the Bangkok Art Biennale.
