OPENING RECEPTION

Exhibition on view from 10 Jan – 9 Feb 2013

Mass Universe in partnership with ThaiGa and Canon Marketing (Thailand) invites you to visit the opening exhibition MASSEXercise by MASSEXperiment, an alternative education project on THURSDAY 10 JANUARY 2013, 6-9pm.

The exhibition features 37 design works from 37 designer participants from MASSEXperiment. The project aims to create new ways of design-related education that allow participants to articulate their content, connecting them to their surroundings as well as creating a process of learning that is different from the formal education system. This exhibition is the first event for participants to apply recently developed knowledge in real-world practice.

With support from ThaiGa and Canon Marketing (Thailand) the exhibition aims to promote learning practices and collaboration between design participants and professional designers. The workshop has been in place since August 2012. Under the guidance of 18 lecturers, the 20 selected participants collaborated within a democratized environment, with the freedom to express and conceptualise ideas about the places and people they of their everyday lives.

WTF gallery is pleased to announce the photography exhibition, Flamingo, by Kachain Wongleawthong.

Kachain Wongleawmthong, one of Bangkok’s leading editorial and commercial photographers, will present his first solo photography show at WTF, from 3-29 August 2012. As one of the leading photographers in Thailand, Kachain has photographed portraits for the most well known magazines and on highly visible commercial assignments. After 12 years of work suppressed by the market’s demands he is eager to express his artistic voice free from constraints. 

In any typical art “scene,” artwork is often defined by its ideological value. Kachain refuses to go along with this. He declares a strong affinity for anti-commercialism as well as an anti-art or anti-theoretical stance, disparaging the conventional market-driven art world in favour of an artist-centered creative practice, similar to the Fluxus movement of the1960’s which “played an important role in the opening up of definitions of what art can be.”[1]

All the images are taken using the Polaroid process which envelopes images with a mysterious veil that seems suited to capturing the overlooked beauty and poetry of the everyday, even the banal. The works are also the out-takes from Kachain’s commercial assignments whereby his portraits of models and celebrities on Polaroid film with the same setting as his digital camera, yet the Polaroids portray another world that seems more immediate, less posed, with an essential “being theren-ess” that digital cannot achieve.

Kachain’s approach captures subjects in a similar way to Andy Warhol’s celebrity Polaroids — with a hollow, brash, trashy transience, that conveys the intimacy and melancholy beauty of not caring about anything, above all the client.

Kachain Wongleamthong graduated from Faculty of Fine Art, major in Photography, Rangsit University. He is always interested in how portraiture captures the personality and the soul of the subject. His reputation as a photographer became widely known and associated with his ability to stimulate a subject’s emotion and character in the photographs, rather than relying on technical skills. He is currently head photographer of A Day and Hamburger magazines. For more information, go towww.wong-kachain.com

AMAZING DEAL — 500THB 

Glenmorangie whiskey tasting with whiskey guru Arnaud Mirey, Brand Ambassador Asia Pacific at Moët-Hennessy.

Expand your palate and understanding of what makes a great whiskey with help from master sommelier Arnaud Mirey. Enjoy the nuances between 4 great whiskies from a legendary producer.

THE ORIGNIAL

A ten-year-old single malt, Glenmorangie Original is produced by marrying the delicate spirit that emerges from Scotland’s tallest stills, with first and second fill American white oak casks.

 

QUINTA RUBAN

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban has spent 10 years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.

 

LASANTA

Elegant but full bodied this whisky has spent ten years maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being extra-matured for a further two years in Oloroso Sherry casks from Jerez in Spain.

 

GLENMORANGIE 18 YEARS OLD

The 18 Years Old is a single malt Scotch whisky of serious distinction. Once it has spent fifteen years maturing in American white oak casks approximately 30% is transferred into Spanish Oloroso casks to spend a further three years maturing. Then, when both elements have reached 18 years, we blend them back together to create a whisky with a rich bouquet and full, rounded flavour.

 

Choice of a full pour of either, The Original, Quitna Ruban, La Santa or special cocktail withThe Original for each participant after the tasting session.
