🎨 Bangkok Art Center: An Off-the-Beaten-Path Gem 🌆

Bangkok museum is incredible! Incredible exhibition selections- for example, a patchwork quilt you can add your own stitching - part of our everyday human lives as human women for millenniums. So simple - to be once again stitching ourselves into part of a greater collective, as we weave ourselves into the stories of womanhood. The photography exhibition was also poignant and wonderfully curated. One of the best museums I’ve ever been to and I love museums! I think of how moving the exhibition was on human suffering and capacity to combat adversity, and the wonderful message of bravery for art. It alchemises suffering into art in such a poignant and human way. The rock is already beaten smooth by the waves of the ocean. The artistic sentiment and the desire to capture and articulate the depths of the human soul is inherent to the entire creation. The photographer ventures off bravely to make art. In other exhibitions and mediums the pain comes before the art. The art is an act of sense-making. In the medium of photography, the artist enters the risk of pain knowingly to create the art. The experience is viscerally revealed as a snapshot. There is no sense-making. The artist knew pain would be present, so the artist showed up to capture it… risking their own selves to be a part of “us”. To show us what we are. To shows us what we could be, both good and bad. It shows how fundamental art is to humanity. It shows our courage. It gives us something greater than ourselves to aspire towards. It was really beautiful and so well articulated. 🙈 I love you BACC. I am a massive fan. Thank you so much for creating such meaningful exhibitions 🙏🏻🕊️🤍

Have a good experience here but... I wish... The gallery shop could combine all the shop around to be in one place. Make it big, make it update and relevant with the excibits, make it the whole floor, and pay in one spot. The rest of the space could be more excibits, it is lovely space and can create anything. Theatre & Film also art... Why this place doesn't have any show? From all over Theatre & film students, artist's in South East Asia? In area where allowed to drink, can we have space to sit and have vending machine to just get some water & soft drink? If you have, I haven't see one. Not talk about the coffee houses where can't find a drinking water in the menu though. One excibit, they rarely have random story... But story teller here quite random... I losted with the guild lines 😅 The building and organisation have operation cost, who pay for it? why don't put some ticket price for normal adults and tourist? Everyone access for free since the organisation have (may be?) government support is good but ask for donation is... What for? You don't need it but if anyone gonna give, it's fine? Well, the building is really good architecture struction and it is a work of art itself. It is indeed not gonna make you feel, wasted the time in Bangkok, for sure.

曼谷市立藝術文化中心(Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, BACC)是泰國首都曼谷的核心文化藝術機構之一,位於市中心繁忙的帕亞泰路(Phaya Thai Road),緊鄰Siam商業區,自2008年開幕以來迅速成為當代藝術展示和文化交流的重要平台。BACC為泰國及國際藝術家提供了一個跨領域的展示空間,涵蓋繪畫、雕塑、攝影、裝置藝術、視覺藝術、表演藝術等多樣形式。該中心的設立不僅促進了泰國本土藝術的發展,還加強了國際藝術界的互動與合作。 BACC的建築設計充滿現代感,其標誌性的圓形中庭與環繞式廊道提供了連貫的展覽流線,允許訪客逐層深入探索不同的展覽內容。中心內的多功能展廳和專業設備,使其成為承辦各類國際性藝術展覽、文化活動、研討會及講座的理想場地。這些活動不僅為藝術家提供了與公眾交流的機會,也推動了藝術創新與觀眾的互動。除了視覺藝術外,BACC還定期舉辦實驗電影放映、音樂演出、現場表演等綜合性藝術活動,進一步提升了曼谷作為國際文化藝術重鎮的地位。 BACC不僅關注藝術展示,還強調社區參與和文化教育。中心設有專業的藝術圖書館,提供豐富的研究資源,並開展一系列專業導覽、教育工作坊和創意課程,旨在培養下一代的藝術創作者和愛好者。此外,中心內的咖啡廳、獨立書店和設計概念店等商業空間也為訪客提供了多元化的文化體驗,成為藝術愛好者和市民聚集的創意社群。 地理位置上,BACC毗鄰BTS天鐵國家體育場站(National Stadium BTS),交通便利,成為市民和遊客文化休閒的首選之地。該中心作為曼谷藝術創意產業的核心機構,積極推動當地藝術的全球化進程,是泰國現代藝術發展的關鍵推動力,也是國際藝術交流的重要橋樑。BACC的設立標誌著曼谷在東南亞文化藝術領域的影響力,為推動該地區的文化創意產業發展作出了重大貢獻。 The Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) is one of the core cultural and artistic institutions in Thailand’s capital, Bangkok. Located on the bustling Phaya Thai Road, adjacent to the Siam commercial district, BACC has become an important platform for contemporary art exhibitions and cultural exchange since its opening in 2008. The centre provides a multidisciplinary space for both Thai and international artists to showcase their work, spanning diverse forms such as painting, sculpture, photography, installation art, visual arts, and performing arts. BACC’s establishment not only promotes the development of Thai art but also strengthens international collaboration within the art world. BACC’s architectural design is modern and striking, with its iconic circular atrium and surrounding walkways that create a seamless flow for exhibitions, allowing visitors to explore each level and immerse themselves in different artistic displays. The centre’s multifunctional galleries and professional facilities make it an ideal venue for hosting a wide range of international art exhibitions, cultural events, seminars, and lectures. These activities not only offer artists opportunities to engage with the public but also foster artistic innovation and interaction with audiences. In addition to visual arts, BACC regularly hosts experimental film screenings, music performances, and live shows, further solidifying Bangkok’s position as a major international cultural hub. BACC is not only focused on artistic exhibitions but also emphasizes community involvement and cultural education. The centre houses a specialized art library, offering a wealth of research resources, and organizes a series of professional guided tours, educational workshops, and creative courses aimed at nurturing the next generation of artists and art enthusiasts.

As a key institution in Bangkok’s creative industries, BACC actively promotes the globalization of local art and serves as a critical driving force for the development of modern art in Thailand. It also acts as a significant bridge for international artistic exchange. The establishment of BACC marks Bangkok’s growing influence in Southeast Asia’s cultural and artistic landscape, contributing greatly to the region’s cultural and creative industries.

BACC has a better taste than MOCA when it comes to international contemporary artworks, it has all sorts of mediums and artists from all over the world. Quite notably moving images, photography, interactive art installations, conceptual art and paintings. It even hosted the Bangkok Art Binnale 2022 and admission to this building is completely free. Except from some vendors holding specific exhibitions that may collect a small fee. The museum spans a huge pathway that goes higher and higher. Highest is the 5th floor. It features artworks along the walls and from different communities and artists. All at once. On the second floor there is a link way from the BTS train station. It might not be very obvious. The toilets on every floor is really clean with toilet paper too! There is a wonderful bookstore that sells novelty items, stationary and international titles translated in Thai. If you’re hungry, fret not as there is a dumpling (wanton) noodle store that is so so affordable and satisfying. BCAA runs a few exhibitions monthly so it’s great to find out what’s happening on their website before making plans to visit.

Right in the center of Bangkok, the Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre one of the best and oldest public galleries in Thailand. I have been going to this place since my school days and I am never disappointed when I go there. The exhibition changes often, some might last a month, some may last 4 months or so. It also houses events and seminars from time to time. It is a place where people can enjoy art, voice their concerns (for example: traditional ways of life disappearing, political protests), or just chill in air-conditioning. It’s a place where people also sell their artworks and the underground floor also has a library, the books are mostly related to art, architecture, and culture as the name suggests. It is also quite trendy, a lot of people enjoy taking pictures with the unique and minimalist architecture inside the building. If you would like to avoid crowd it would be wise to go there on weekdays (from Tuesday to Friday since it is closes on Mondays) before 4 pm since a lot of students would be there after class.
