During a two-week residency, isolated in nature in Nakhon Chai Si, a team of women who have never met before try to understand each other, they cook, swim, share intimate stories, exchange artistic skills.
At the core of the residency method is the question: how do we feel together? Why do we have an artistic idea, and how do we create together? As we all come from different countries and backgrounds, we may have disagreements and debates, which can be nourishing but also harming. We always strive for understanding and care, even if taming our ego is a personal responsibility.
Together, artists carefully work their way toward creating a show of unprecedented form: an exhibition, a performative show, a happening, that the curator calls an “Explosition” where artists have to create Live.
The night time show opened the doors of the old Bumrungvicha School in Klongsan District, Bangkok, to create an immersive multisensory exhibition which is different from conventional art formats and white cube spaces. It sought to imagine the different shapes, sounds, smells, textures and embodiments of silence from feminist perspectives.
