137 Pillars Suites & Residences Bangkok on Sukhumvit 39 presents "Wisdom Of Self", a three-part celebration consisting of an art exhibition, art therapy workshop and dining experience to remind us what is essential in life.
A collaboration with TwelveArt and Mission On, the programme starts with the "Wisdom Of Self" art exhibition curated around the theme of "Seeing the nature of oneself, and walking away from restraints towards liberation".
It features video lectures, paintings, shibari-bondage, and interactive art by nine artists and philosophers of multiple disciplines. The line-up includes Alan Watts, Alongkorn Lauwatthana, Charannatan Tanachoteporamat, E.G.PE, James Norbury, Jood Jung, Juli Baker and Summer, Palut Marod and Yada Kinabaku.
A contemporary and borderless interpretation of enso, a circle that represents mastery of the self, the exhibition touches on the themes such as acceptance, mindfulness, being true to oneself, external influences on the mind, self-mastery and reflection. It can be viewed at Baan Borneo Club, Level 26, daily from 11am to 6pm until Sept 23.
Beyond the art exhibition, guests can enhance their journey through "Mission On Wisdom", an expressive art therapy workshop facilitated by Onraya Himakorn, head therapist at Mission On.
