Khon Kaen: Wilawan Wiangthong
Wilawan Wiangthong’s first solo exhibition in Thailand, “Mom of Alterity” at MAIELIE, brings together a complex orchestration of seven chaptered live performances accompanied by surreal moving images, sculptures, and photography. Within this psychosomatic domain, subversive forms of bodily expression manifested, alternative connections between species flourished, and the interstices between humanity’s technosphere and nature’s ecosphere sporadically surfaced. As one might infer from the performance described above—appropriately titled Chapter 4: Eggs, 2024—the body as a mythical and provocative terra incognita emerged as the centerpiece to Wiangthong’s corporeal banquet.
