A new exhibition at MAIIAM draws entirely from the museum's own collection, bringing together more than 39 Thai and international artists across painting, sculpture, photography, moving image and installation. Some works are over fifty years old, others not shown publicly in decades, all reflecting co-founder Jean-Michel Beurdeley's personal collecting eye and the philosophy that shaped MAIIAM's permanent holdings. Black runs through the show not as a single fixed thing but as a shifting state: sometimes a fragment of an image, sometimes swallowing the whole frame, moving between density and weightlessness, structure and atmosphere. The curation leans on that instability, letting black carry belief, fear, desire or memory depending on the work and the viewer standing in front of it. Rather than building toward a singular reading, the exhibition holds multiple interpretations.
Until July 21, 2027. MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum. Ton Pao, San Kamphaeng. Wed-Mon 10am-6pm
