The exhibition resulted from a residency and exhibition at Bangkok University and two years later in London supported by the British Council. The group of artists participating in the third exhibition evolved organically from the original group to include new artists that are interested in this kind of diverse, international and unpredictable dialogue.

The key words here are fragility and monumentality. This show is not an illustration of a theory or concept; it embraces the poetic, and uncertainty will sometimes surface. The show does not ask for simple conclusions but places the work on a platform for discussion. Much of the work reveals itself slowly; it does not contain an overriding manifesto but a rich multilayered complexity or soup of possibilities. Failure and ‘nothingness’ are key words in art and ones that can be embraced resulting in fragile and unexpected visions. Monumentality however is about presence, and can be about the awkwardness of being.
