BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, marking a decade as an independent contemporary art space dedicated to expanding the possibilities of artistic expression and public imagination. Over the past ten years, the gallery has grown into far more than an exhibition venue—it has become a stage for long-term experimentation, a home for emerging voices, and a site for bold ideas that challenge, provoke, and transform.
Founded in August 2015, BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY began as—and remains—a project of belief: belief that every city needs independent art spaces where questions can be asked, where dissent is possible, and where care and courage meet. With no hierarchy of forms or disciplines, BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY has embraced a wide range of practices—from visual art and moving images to installation, publishing, sound, and performance.
This milestone year is both a celebration and a moment of reflection. BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY stands as a living archive of cross-disciplinary practice—shaped by the artists, collaborators, and communities who have made the space their own. From quiet gestures to radical transformations, the gallery has remained guided by principles of openness, generosity, and a commitment to new ways of seeing. It is, above all, a space for connection and possibility.
Looking ahead to the next decade, BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY remains committed to creating space—both physical and conceptual—for practices that challenge, transform, and move us.
To mark this moment, we present_A Solo Project by Pratchaya Phinthong_, opening on July 18, 2025. Known for his critical and conceptual approach, Pratchaya’s practice often navigates systems of labor, value, and exchange. His new work continues this inquiry while responding to the gallery’s long-standing ethos of collectivity and care. Rather than imposing conclusions, the project creates a vacuum for thought—a suspension of expectation—signaling a shift into a new phase of collective and spatial consciousness.
Pratchaya Phinthong lives and works in Bangkok, Thailand. Phinthong creates situations as an invitation made to the visitor to share an experience with him. His projects (without any specific or pre-defined forms) suggest a crack in which the spectators are invited to fill the gaps. He builds a set, a fiction, or a process where he can test our perceptions. He proposes to his audience a story with multiple paths. A trip down memory lane combined with subjective perceptions. His projects are often constructed in a dialogue between the artist and the others, making the artist’s movement glide towards the social field. Beyond any artistic or formal experience, the artist is looking to find his place and his identity playing on the economic representations and cultural existences.The ‘gallery’ space becomes a free area.
BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY seeks excellence, supports the emerging, and encourages potential. Believing in no hierarchy of all artistic forms and ideas, the gallery serves multiple objectives of art as advocacy.
