Curators Gridthiya Gaweewong and Michael Shoawanasai are
pioneers of a new and vibrant contemporary art scene in
Bangkok, both with their artist-led space Project 304,
and BEFF - Bangkok Experimental Film Festival - which has
successfully run bi-annually since 1996.

"Head or Tail" or "Hua rua Goy" is the term that Thais
use to describe the uncertainty of a situation or simply
to gamble with the future. Under the dynamic tension posed
by this uncertainty the curators have chosen a group of new
media and video artists who use the latest in technology to
express the concerns of modern life in general and in South
East Asia in particular.

Started as an altertive space based in Bangkok, Project 304
is initiated and run by artists and curators since late 1996.
It is now defunct and transformed itself to a non-site-project
based art organization. Its goals are to use art as a means
to bring greater awareness and appreciation of the contemporary
arts to society at large. http://www.project304.org/

Curator talk: Michael Shoawanasai from Project 304 travelled
to give a talk on the opening night in the gallery.

This talk was made possible by Suranuch Thongsila, Director,
Siam Cement Foundation, and the Arts Council of Ireland,
Travel Inward Mobility Award.
