Pinaree Sanpitak’s ‘Family of 5’ Featured in ‘Lost in Translation’ at ATTA Gallery

29 Aug 2024

Pinaree Sanpitak’s ‘Family of 5’ is on view at ATTA Gallery, Bangkok. The exhibition entitled ‘Lost in Translation’ brings together 18 artists from the Indian Ocean region, ranging from emerging to internationally established. The contemporaneity in understanding craftsmanship in art is open-ended, with no single definitive explanation. It extends beyond questions of whether a piece qualifies as art or craft, recognising that interpretation is implicitly subjective and obsolete at this point.

This exhibition challenges conventional distinctions between art and craft, embracing a subjective and open-ended interpretation of craftsmanship. Inviting exploration of diverse ‘crafty’ artworks through appropriation of visuals, material mixing, and viewing craft as a universal language, the exhibition encourages engagement with the fluid relationship between art, craft, and cultural understanding, revealing the subtle dialogues within the works.

See Sanpitak’s ‘Family of 5’ at ATTA Gallery through until 20 Ocotber 2024.
