Time Out says

It spans over a thousand square metres across four floors in downtown Bangkok. Situated in Sukhumvit Soi 39, the gallery provides a modern space where visitors can immerse themselves in art and elevate their aesthetic experience. The gallery’s mission is to support Thai and Southeast Asian artists, helping them gain international recognition through in-person and digital programmes, and via active participation in global art fairs. The two interconnected buildings are divided into areas for both exhibitions and creative art production. A large, high-ceilinged central space allows ample natural light to enhance the environment. The ground floor functions as a multipurpose hall for exhibitions, talks and performances, while the upper floors feature rotating and permanent displays, all accessible free of charge.

What’s on

Banana Ghost

Tintin Cooper has a way of holding up a mirror that doesn’t flatter but fascinates. Her latest exhibition peers at Thailand and Southeast Asia through the eyes of outsiders, before flipping the lens back onto locals negotiating endless waves of tourism, migration and the cliches both sides quietly cling to. Here, the works are stitched together from the messy fabric of online life: animal memes, TikTok clips of holidaymakers misbehaving, ‘passport bro’ forums and Thai news headlines. Cooper treats this digital chaos as autobiography, shaped by a childhood spent adapting to languages and gestures that were never quite her own. Even the titles read like cultural fragments. One canvas lifts from Matichon’s bleak June headline I’m Ok, Not Ok, while another lovingly immortalises Moo Deng, Thailand’s internet-famous pygmy hippo, as if memes were scripture. Until November 8. Free. SAC Gallery, 11am-6pm

Only I Am You, Then I Became You

Jiajia Qi arrives in Bangkok with her first solo exhibition in Thailand, but this isn’t a simple retrospective or a neat display of greatest hits. Supported by Mondriaan Fonds, Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds and the Embassy of the Netherlands in Thailand, the show stretches across her past works and new experiments, each piece circling back to her obsession with place and the slippery ways it shapes us. The framework leans into Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s idea of ‘nomadic thought’ where history isn’t pinned down and geography refuses to play by institutional rules. It’s less about tidy narratives and more about movement, flux and the sensation of being caught in between. Expect to leave with the feeling you’ve wandered somewhere unfamiliar, yet strangely close. September 25-November 8. Free. SAC Gallery, 10am-6pm
