100 Tonson Foundation invites you to attend to the House Calls exhibition’s 4th public activity, with a performance of But No Dancing by Fullfat Theatre and Throw BKK. This performance is an interpretation and an extension to the exhibition House Calls by Pinaree Sanpitak. Throughout the one-hour duration, the performance will explore varieties of texture and shape within Pinaree’s works to examine subjects of fragility and femininity, with a performance space designed to seamlessly connect with the artist’s works.

 

Synopsis

The pandemic lockdown brought about us the opportunity to self-reflect. Within the periphery of comfort, it is a chance to meditate and be grateful, to set direction and determine to become a better person, to do all the things you always wanted to do, anything, but no dancing.

This program is an extension of the exhibition House Calls an exhibition by veteran artist Pinaree Sanpitak,  whose works have enriched and inspired Thailand’s art sphere for more than three decades. For this exhibition, the artist created up to 400 pieces of paper sculptures, using hand-torn stacks of natural paper to make the shape of a “Breast Stupa” (common structures in Buddhist temples), placed on top of various vessels, containers, and utensils that were once part of Pinaree’s home and collection. The sculptures are then placed on motion-responsive shelves, These shelves are specially designed and fabricated that they are able to subtly vibrate in reaction to viewers’ movements, animating the sculptures and resembling the uncertainty of life under one’s home’s roof. The exhibition was meant to highlight the common experience people face, namely the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced people to quarantine themselves within their homes and stop all activities outside. Many have contained themselves at their ‘homes’, turning the persons’ lodgings into a repository of memories, a place of emotional security, while at the same time a fragile and ephemeral place.
