Munins’ STILL : ON in Bangkok until November 15: bodies, clouds, emotion and memory

Munins’ solo exhibition STILL : ON runs until November 15, 2026, at RCB Galleria 5 on the third floor of River City Bangkok. Starting with how the brain receives, selects and connects experiences, it considers emotions, memory and everyday decisions continuing within us. This is an art exhibition, not a neurological examination. For those surrounded by travel, work or constant information, it offers a slower way of looking: the body may stop without feelings immediately becoming still.

A figure rests on a cloud, but the picture stays awake

One organizer-supplied artwork image shows a dark-haired figure lying across grey-blue clouds, arms hanging down. Most of the picture belongs to a dark sky, with a small yellow glow at the lower right. The figure faces away and its expression is hidden, leaving exhaustion, rest or a moment of distraction as possible readings rather than one fixed answer. Clouds normally suggest lightness; here they resemble a platform carrying bodily weight, making the pause feel uncertain.

A second image surrounds two closed-eyed figures with paler blue, their hands close to each other’s cheeks. Compared with the solitude of the first image, it introduces a relationship of mutual support. There is no need to identify them as lovers, relatives or real individuals to notice the intimacy of the pose. Both images are artwork reproductions in official event material, not installation photographs. Individual titles, dimensions and media are not supplied on that page, so oil paint, canvas specifications and prices are not inferred.

What connects the three English concepts?

The exhibition introduces Emotion Encoding, Signal Selection and Neural Pathway: ways to consider how emotional experiences are recorded, which signals are retained and how we form an understanding of what lies before us. They are a curatorial framework, rather than terms visitors must memorise. Start with an image that holds your attention, consider the colour, gesture or empty space behind the response, then return to it and see whether the details you notice have changed.

Cities, technology, travel and incoming information connect the exhibition to the external world. What passes before our eyes can become part of memory and choice. Broad blue fields and blurred boundaries offer surfaces on which to linger over such abstract relationships. This is a visual reading of officially supplied images, not the artist interpreting every visitor’s psychology. Nor does it establish that viewing the exhibition diagnoses or treats anxiety or guarantees relaxation.

Until November 15; the artist tour is already past

River City Bangkok is at 23 Charoen Krung Soi 24 in the Talad Noi area, with published daily venue hours of 10am–8pm. This exhibition occupies third-floor RCB Galleria 5; distinguish it from other galleries showing work at the same time. Official event information also lists an Artist Tour for October 11, 2–3pm, but that session has finished. It should not be treated as a daily tour personally led by Munins. Confirm individual gallery hours, ticketing or temporary changes through the official exhibition page or +66 2 237 0077.

There is no need to turn every image immediately into a definite story. Begin with the distance between people, then their scale against the surroundings, before returning to the three curatorial ideas. Different connections may emerge. The exhibition does not promise ready-made answers to complex emotions; its value lies closer to an open question, from pausing before an image to noticing one’s own feelings again. Recheck venue announcements before visiting, and leave room for other exhibitions and travel rather than filling the day around a single picture.
