KĀKĀKAU ʻO BRIAN CURTIN I KONA HANA MA KEKAHI O NA CURATOR O BANGKOK ART BIENNALE 2024 I LOA AI KA HANA A EHA ARISH ARTISTS.
ʻO ka ʻehā o Bangkok Ua wehe ʻia ʻo Art Biennale (BAB) i ka lehulehu ma ka lā 24 ʻOkakopa 2024 ma waena o kahi pule ʻoliʻoli o nā hanana, nā hoʻolaha, a me nā pāʻina ma hope. E holo ana no aneane ʻehā mahina, e pani ana i ka lā 25 Pepeluali. Hōʻike ʻia kēia paʻi o BAB ma luna o 70 mau mea pena kiʻi mai ka honua holoʻokoʻa a hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma nā wahi he 11. ʻO kēia mau mea e pili ana i ka Bangkok Art and Culture Center (BACC), nā luakini kahiko, a me kahi hoʻomohala hou, i kapa ʻia ʻo One Bangkok - kahi hale noho a me nā ʻāpana kalepa ma ke kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale. Ua hoʻohana pū ʻia ke alo kikohoʻe o kahi kikowaena kūʻai nui no nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a nā mea pena.
Ambitious, inā ʻaʻole dizzying, i kona ākea a me ka makemake, ʻōlelo ʻo BAB i nā kālā he nui. ʻO kēia ka poʻe hana kiʻi ponoʻī, ke kumuhana curatorial, helu helu lehulehu a me nā mea kūʻai kālā pilikino, hoʻonui i ka hoihoi i (a me nā kahua no) kiʻi o kēia wā ma Asia Hikina Hema i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, a, ka hopena, nā nīnau no ka 'mana palupalu,' internationalism, city-branding, a me ka hana pono o nā biennials honua ma o kēia mau mea koʻikoʻi.
ʻO koʻu komo ʻana iho he hōʻike ia i nā ʻāʻī e hiki ai i kēia mau kālā ke hoʻopuka. Ma ke ʻano he mea kākau maʻamau e pili ana i ka hana noʻeau (a ua nānā hou i nā mea hou i hala no nā paʻi ʻē aʻe), ua kānalua wau e ʻae i kahi kono e hui pū i ka biennale o kēia makahiki. ʻO ka hana ʻana pēlā ʻo ia ke manaʻo i hui pū ʻia a no laila e hoʻopili i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻonā i kēia mau pilikia, ma mua o ka hōʻike koʻikoʻi iā lākou ma ke kākau ʻana.
Mai ka wehe ʻana, hoʻokani mau ka PR no BAB i nā tausani i kipa ʻia, ʻoiai ʻo ka hoʻolauleʻa wehe ʻana i piha i ka lehulehu 'international'. Ua loaʻa ka manaʻo nui i ka biennale ma ka paʻi kiʻi honua. Kau inoa Hanai ia Gaia ma hope o ka Gaia Hypothesis - he kumumanaʻo e pili ana ka honua kūlohelohe ma ke ʻano he ʻōnaehana mālama ponoʻī - ua hoʻokūpaʻa ke kumuhana curatorial i ka pōʻino weliweli a mākou e hana nei. He kanikau maʻamau kēia, a no ka nui o nā makemake e pili ana, ua maʻalahi ke nīnau i ka politika kūpono o ia ʻano manaʻo.
Akā, ʻike ʻia ka ʻokoʻa i hōʻike a hoʻopaʻa ʻia paha i ka hui ʻana o BAB i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o nā ʻano hana like ʻole a me ka huli ʻana i ka hana curatorial ma waena, e ʻōlelo, ka hoʻohui ʻana o nā kiʻi me nā mea kahiko i ka National Museum a me nā hōʻike kaumaha akua ma ka National Gallery. No ka noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ka format biennial ma ke ʻano he ʻano kūpono, pono e noʻonoʻo kekahi i kahi mea maʻalahi, pau ʻole, ʻano didactic a maʻemaʻe, a emi ʻole ka hoʻololi a me ka hoʻohui.
ʻO ka mea hope he ala huahua e noʻonoʻo ai ma o nā hōʻikeʻike hui like ʻole a me ke kumuhana ponoʻī. Pehea e hiki ai iā mākou ke hana i nā pilina ma waena o Kira O'Reilly ʻO ke keʻena hoʻopaʻapaʻa menopause (2021), he hana lōʻihi kahi i hoʻokau ai ka mea pena iā ia iho ma o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i waho, a me kahi hoʻokomo kokoke ʻana i nā mannequins, e kahi mea pena kiʻi kūloko, i ʻaʻahu ʻia i ka lole plastik recycled? ʻO ka hoʻololi kino o O'Reilly, me ke kōkua o ke ʻano keleawe iwi iwi a me nā ʻano kaula a me nā mea like ʻole, ua hōʻike nui ʻia. Ua hoʻoikaika ʻia ka hōʻike ʻana ma ka ʻike ʻana i ke ʻano neoclassical o ka National Gallery a no ka mea ua hoʻoluhi nui ka mea pena i ka wela wela o Bangkok. Ma ʻaneʻi ua ʻike ʻia ke kumumanaʻo o ka biennale, a he mea kupanaha paha, ua hauʻoli: hoʻololi waiwai, hakakā, a me ka ʻeha ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana me ka ikaika a me ka mana. ʻO ka ʻōlelo pili e pili ana i ka eco-fashion ua loaʻa i kona wahi akā he mea aʻo maikaʻi ʻia ma muli o ka hauʻoli ʻia e ka manaʻo e haʻi iā mākou i nā mea a mākou i ʻike ai.
ʻO Susan Collins lāua ʻo George Bolster ʻelua mau mea pena kiʻi aʻu i hana pololei ai, e hui pū ana i kā lāua hana me ka ʻāina ma ka BACC. ʻO kekahi o nā papahana a Collins, i kapa ʻia ĀINA (2017), he ʻekolu paʻi nui, i loaʻa mai i ke kiʻi kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻana o West Bank i nā mahina he nui. E kūʻē i ka lole panoramic o Bolster, ʻO ka Paʻa ʻole o ka Pale: Big Bend National Park (2023), e hōʻike ana i ka palena kuaʻāina o ʻAmelika a me Mekiko, ʻelua e hoʻokau i nā ʻano weliweli o ke ʻano, ʻoiai e hōʻike ana i ka hopena pōʻino o ke kanaka. Ua ʻōlelo ka hoʻohana ʻana o Collins i ka pixilation i ke alo o ka nānā ʻana, ʻoiai ua hoʻokomo ʻo Bolster i kahi wikiō e haʻi ana i ka hoʻopau ʻana o Trump i nā pale o ke kaiapuni. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o Bolster i ka poʻe i ʻike ʻia no ka mea ʻoluʻolu ke ʻano a me ka maikaʻi haptic, e hāʻawi ana i kahi kihi upbeat i nā hopena hewa. ʻO nā hana a nā mea pena kiʻi ʻelua ua 'hoʻoikaika' ʻia ma kēia ʻano, i ka wā i kani ai ke koko leo nui mai Beethoven's. ʻO Ode i ka ʻoliʻoli (1785) hiki ke lohe ʻia mai ka puka komo, ʻoiai ua alakaʻi ʻo Amanda Coogan i kahi hana pūlima me kahi kaiāulu hoʻolohe.
ʻO O'Reilly, Bolster, a me Coogan ʻo Irish, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Aideen Barry i hoʻokomo pū ʻia - he hōʻike like ʻole no BAB. Aia ʻo Bolster ma New York a me O'Reilly ma Finland; akā, ua loaʻa ke kālā no ko lākou komo ʻana mai ʻIlelani. ʻOiai ʻo Barry ʻeleʻele, gothic, hoʻonohonoho, Kaui (2021), ka ʻōlelo ʻana i ka moʻolelo colonial o Ireland, ʻaʻole pili pololei ka hana a nā mea pena ʻekolu ʻē aʻe i ka pōʻaiapili Irish. Ua ulana ʻia kēlā me kēia kiʻi kiʻi i loko o ka lole o nā ʻokoʻa e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ka pono e hoʻopili: ma waena o nā kino kanaka a me nā ʻāina; ka manaʻo, ka ʻōlelo, a me ka ʻike; a ma ke ʻano maoli a me ka affective - he binary e hoʻopilikia i ke kūkākūkā koʻikoʻi o nā kiʻi o kēia wā. ʻAʻole kēia ʻike e hoʻokaʻawale i nā hakakā maoli o ka hoihoi a i ʻole nā waiwai kū'ē, akā, e hoʻomaopopo i ka BAB - a me ke kumu hoʻohālike ʻelua makahiki - he hemahema maoli. Pehea ʻē aʻe e hiki ai iā mākou ke kūʻē i nā ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻino o ko mākou honua i kēia manawa a noʻonoʻo i nā ʻano like ʻole?
ʻO Brian Curtin kahi mea kākau kiʻi kiʻi hānau ʻo Irish i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Bangkok mai 2000.
