The Museum is Dead


History is speckled with museums as one of the key repositories of material culture, However, in an age increasingly defined by digitalisation and calls for decentralisation, perhaps the time is nigh to abandon our acknowledgment of the museum’s monolithic centrality in defining the historicity of events and activities in human existence, so as to approach a more pluralistic understanding of our histories.

The exhibition and its works debated over the value of artworks and purpose of museums in today’s context. Watch the short video HERE to hear about the curator John Tung’s take and inspiration behind this.

Racharudee (Zhu Clan), 2022



Siripattananuntakul’s oeuvres are grounded on social, political, economic, and political ecology issues that question the meaning of life. Racharudee (Zhu Clan) consists of individual sheets of handmade paper made by the artist by pulping her own family ancestry book. With the destruction of an heirloom that has been kept within the family for years becoming the basis for the creation of a new artwork, the process of creation entails numerous reversals in perceived value: an object with historical value is rendered worthless only to become an object imbued with artistic value.
Artist: 
Wantanee Siripattananuntakul
