Tanat Teeradakorn

30 Jan-30 Mar 2025

Overview

A new commission by multi-disciplinary artist, musician, DJ, and graphic designer, Tanat Teeradakorn. Fusing together fragments of biography, memory, data and historical narratives, his work interrogates the ways in which cultural narrative constructs, circulates and replicates across media, culture and space.

For his first solo exhibition in Europe, Tanat will draw comparisons between Thailand and the UK, seeking out interrelated connections in pop culture, revolution, and the monarchy. Through installation and sound he will forge links between the stories and symbolism they share, and the iconography that constitutes forms of soft power.

Gasworks’ Exhibitions programme is supported by Catherine Petitgas and Gasworks Exhibitions Supporters.
