ONE DAY Eu-Ka-Beuk
Sept.1 ~ Oct.31, 2003
'One Day Eu-Ka-Beuk: 2 Months Cultural Sketch' comprised a series of art and cultural activities held between 1 September 2003 - 31 October 2003 at Umong Sippadhamma, Chiang Mai, Thailand. For a period of two months, one exhibition was held every day by the organising team. The word 'Eu-Ka-Beuk' was created by a group of artists to define all kinds of cultural activities to benefit society. These exhibitions offered opportunities for young artists and the general public to communicate various concepts to society through works of art and performance.
The Land Foundation
1998~
the land foundation was initiated by Rirkrit Tiravanija and Kamin Lertchaiprasert in 1998 as a self-sustaining environment emerging from the artistic community. the land foundation is located in the northern part of Thailand, near the village of Sanpathong, 20 km southwest of the city of Chiang Mai. It is intended to be cultivated as an open space free of ownership, an environment conducive to discussions and experimentation in the fields of culture. the land foundation is open to the day-to-day activities of local living (i.e., the cultivation of rice) and to the neighboring community. On the social field of the Land, artistic practices are discussed and tested. A hybrid of innovation and traditionalism, the land foundation juxtaposes contemporary materials and technologies with ancient forms of practice.
