4A PRESENTS Catching the Moment; Each Step is the Past, an exhibition of major new work by Thai-Australian artist Phaptawan Suwannakudt.
Catching the Moment; Each Step is the Past is an ephemeral and poignant installation using silk and hand-woven fabric, layered
with delicate drawings and Thai texts. This exhibition includes a major new interactive work, Conversation Room. Two people are invited to sit at a table and work with lengths of shredded silk. The participants are connected through their actions with the silk but obscured by a veiled curtain. Working with the material in silence, participants are able to observe the implications of the other on their attempts to create their own space.
Exhibition Dates 21 May – 3 July 2010
Opening: 6-8pm Thursday 27 May 2010
To be opened by Tony Bond OAM Assistant Director, Curatorial and Head Curator International Art, Art Gallery of NSW
