“The Kunsthalle (Bangkok) is not a finished model: it is a space that continues to grow, shift, and redefine itself over time. Just as each exhibition leaves a physical and conceptual trace, the institution itself remains in flux, adapting to new artistic and social conditions. Through our architectural expansion, urban interventions, and global positioning, we aim to create an art institution that is not just located in Bangkok, but that actively reshapes the way we think about art institutions as a whole, where curating is not about organizing exhibitions, but about building a new cultural architecture altogether.”
