Time Out says

After being hidden for more than twenty years, a new cultural venue has emerged in an old printing house that was left abandoned following a fire. Established by Marisa Chearavanont, an art patron and philanthropist married to the chairman of Thailand’s largest agribusiness, CP Group, the institution is directed by Stefano Rabolli Pansera, previously of the Hauser & Wirth gallery. The newly opened site focuses on supporting and promoting various creative fields such as art, cinema, music, architecture and more. As outlined on its website, the venue aims to foster a dynamic environment where different forms of artistic expression can be explored and celebrated.

What’s on

Mitta del Santi

Ploenchan ‘Mook’ Vinyaratn has turned Bangkok Kunsthalle into a space where weaving isn’t just craft, it’s conversation. Her most ambitious institutional installation to date reimagines fragments of past textile works, letting textures, colours and forms collide in ways that feel both deliberate and accidental. The building itself – once the Thai Wattana Panich printing house – anchors the work, with 399 circular fabric pieces echoing its original logo, each stamped with words from children’s books once produced on-site. Collaborating with other Thai women, Vinyaratn deconstructs looms and rebuilds them into monumental forms, creating works that pulse with collective memory, resilience and quiet audacity. By the time you leave, the fragments have stitched themselves into a living narrative, a reminder that history, imagination and community can fold seamlessly into one. September 26-November 30. Free. Bangkok Kunsthalle, 2pm-8pm

Until Nov 30, 2025
