Tang Contemporary Art Bangkok is proud to announce that “Half Degree of Separation”, a solo show of Entang Wiharso, will open on 11 January until 25 February 2018。 Entang Wiharso is one of Indonesia’s leading contemporary artists。 This is Wiharso’s first solo show in Thailand。
Entitled “Half Degree of Separation,” the exhibition features a new body of work created in his studio in Indonesia and during his 2017 residency in New York City at International Studio & Curatorial Program。 In describing the concept for the show, Wiharso notes, “Half Degree of Separation comes from the idea of ‘six degree of separation,’ when you always have a connection to others in six steps or less。 Half degree of separation is the acceptance or refusal of connectivity, whether cultural or identity, with others。 The work for Tang Contemporary Art focuses on themes related to migration, the Indonesian diaspora, the settlement of land, the power of ownership and the idea of belonging, through the lens of family and history。 We can see the connection that always exists between past and current conditions through this lens。”
