Art lovers are invited to explore the rich culture of Suphan Buri during "A Monk, A Child, An Art, A Philosopher, A Weevil", which is running at 1984 + 1 Gallery until Sept 1.
This is a group exhibition featuring the fascinating stories of historic Suphan Buri presented from the viewpoints of 10 Thai artists, many of whom are native to the province.
The show recounts narratives interwoven through various dimensions of time and place, subtly embedded within the fabric of culture, community, environment and human relationships.
Curated by Preecha Raksorn, also a Suphan Buri native, the exhibition brings new works created from a variety of mediums. They include Eternal Game, an interactive installation by Pachara Piyasongsoot; and Thai Porcelain by Putsadee Sriamphunpluk, who experiments with new design techniques in jewellery.

The other six participating artists are Krittaporn Mahaweerarat, Kwanchai Lichaikul, Trinnapat Chaisitthisak, Suparerk Nammontree, Akkarawin Arunmuang and Angkrit Ajchariyasophon. 1984+1 Gallery is a former rice mill with over 4,000m² of presentation space.
