The relationship between the macro world and the micro scale of everyday life is reflected through "Worldbuilding: Macro/Micro Exhibition" which is running at RCB Galleria 3, River City Bangkok, Charoen Krung 24, until Nov 1.
This group exhibition offers a closer look at how things that may seem distant can become deeply personal, revealing how global changes can affect our lives in ways we may not expect.
Visitors will explore the connections between everyday life and the forces shaping the world around us through the works by four contemporary artists -- Mariem.b, Jarasporn Chumsri, Chinnarat Mongkolchai and Nakarin Mongkolchai.
As economies, technology, travel and the movement of resources change, their effects do not remain confined to news reports or statistics. They gradually find their way into the prices of everyday goods, the materials we use, the way people work and even the memories and feelings that take shape in our daily lives.
The exhibition is divided into four zones, allowing each artist to create their own "world" shaped by their lives, memories, the places where they grew up and the impact of the outside world they have experienced.
Each of these worlds has its own language and rhythm, yet they are connected by a shared question -- how do we learn, adapt and exist amid a changing world?
These stories are expressed through paintings on canvas and batik fabric, thread embroidery on tie-dyed textiles, ceramic sculptures and mixed-media installations.
The exhibition invites viewers to shift their gaze between the bigger picture and the details close at hand, revealing that the world is not shaped by major events alone, but gradually takes form through materials, memories, emotions and the choices people make every day.
