KORAKRIT ARUNANONDCHAI

b.1986. Lives in Bangkok, Thailand and New York, USA

A visual artist, filmmaker and storyteller, Korakrit Arunanondchai employs his versatile practice to tell stories embedded in cultural transplantation and hybridity. Arunanondchai is an avid collaborator who has worked on videos, performances and music together with an extensive list of people. Arunanondchai’s first video in a series of work, 2012–2555 (2012), arose from the ideas of death, rebirth and the fictionalization of time, was shown at MoMA PS1 in New York (2014). Together with Arunanondchai’s twin brother Korapat Arunanondchai, the performance artist, boychild and artist Alex Gvojic, they produce a live performance to accompany the video installation as part of the Sunday Sessions at MoMA PS1. In 2015, He exhibited Painting with history in a room filled with people with funny names 3 at Palais de Tokyo, Paris and in 2016 exhibited as Arunanondchai’s first solo show at BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY. In early 2018, Arunanondchai co-founded Ghost Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed to support a video and performance art series in Thailand entitledGhost. He curated its inaugural series,Ghost:2561, during October 11–28, 2018 in Bangkok.

Arunanondchai’s works have been exhibited in numerous venues, including his recent installation “nostalgia for unity” (2024), in which the artist explores negative space and uses it as the primary medium. This exhibition is held at Bangkok Kunsthalle, Bangkok.
