And Still, Another After in Bangkok: books, street flyers and the conditions a generation inherits

Books turn their spines towards the wall, small street flyers rise on thin wires, and nighttime construction sites enter a video installation. And Still, Another After at Bangkok’s Jim Thompson Art Center places familiar things in unfamiliar positions. Open since October 10, 2026, and continuing until March 29, 2027, the group exhibition is curated by Rinrada Na Chiangmai. It extends across the art center and William Warren Library, connecting six artistic practices and their collaborations to examine the conditions younger generations inherit.

Six artistic practices and histories not experienced firsthand

Artists born from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s may not remember the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis firsthand, yet encounter its consequences in family debt, working arrangements and urban environments. “After” can therefore describe more than a period that has ended: it can be a condition in which different changes continue to overlap.

In one work photograph, small pieces of paper are held up by wires of varying heights, anchored to bricks, stones and building materials. Printed matter that might otherwise be overlooked becomes a sparse, fragile arrangement against a white wall; the supports and shadows also deserve attention. Another image places concrete blocks alongside plants, interweaving the hard edges of construction with growing branches. Viewed together, they offer a concrete question through which to approach the exhibition: what supports everyday life?

Books and night scenes change the order of looking

The book image makes an opposite gesture. Familiar spines are hidden, leaving page edges, thicknesses and uneven heights visible. Without titles, viewers initially encounter the texture of a row of objects rather than immediately identifying their contents. Turning the same book another way changes both the information it offers and the attention it asks for.

Two moving-image works with full identification provide another route. Migration of Clouds (2026), a multichannel video installation by Bhumikorn Kongtaveelert in collaboration with Anna Golubkova, Pitchada Poolsawad and Piyatida Piyamassakul, layers clouds, a circular structure and architectural imagery in its work photograph. Sareena Sattapon’s Balen(ciaga) I Belong: All That Glitter (2025) presents people, construction spaces and divided frames within green-yellow night scenes. The still images allow a study of composition; the works’ unfolding time and sound are matters for viewing in person.

THB50 admission: distinguish the art center’s hours from the library’s

Adult admission to the art center is THB50. A THB250 combination ticket covers both the Jim Thompson House Museum and the art center, so the two ticket types have different scopes. The art center opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00. General use of William Warren Library is free, but it opens Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00–18:00, and closes on Mondays, Tuesdays and public holidays. Factor that difference into a combined visit; groups need advance reservations. The exhibition is supported by the James H.W. Thompson Foundation, SAC Gallery, DC Collection and Mardi Craft Brewing.

The address is 6 Soi Kasemsan 2, Rama 1 Road, Bangkok, accessible from BTS National Stadium station’s Exit 1. Plan with the exhibition information, and check the art center’s admission details separately from the library’s opening days.
