Thai Art Archives

Thai Art Archives (f. 2010, Bangkok-New York) is Thailand’s first and only independent archives to focus on recovering, studying, documenting, preserving, and exhibiting the valuable ephemera—official and personal documents, sketchbooks, notebooks, diaries, photographs, and printed matter, among other items—of Thailand’s modern and contemporary artists. Now entering its third year in a special projects platform at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, the TAA raises public awareness of the historical significance of Thailand’s progressive, avant garde heritage through a dynamic program of public and educational events, ‘micro’ exhibitions, cataloging of special projects, scholar and student residencies, and international collaborations.
