the conversation continues with Stefano Rabolli Pansera, Founding Director of Bangkok Kunsthalle and Khao Yai Art Forest, alongside Luning Wang, Art & Culture Consultant & Journalist, and Rom Sangkavatana, Creative Director, as they reflect on Bangkok’s remarkable cultural transformation.
Bangkok is increasingly emerging as a city of ideas, where contemporary art, independent institutions, collectors, and creative communities are reshaping the region’s cultural landscape. The discussion explores how the city’s rapid evolution is positioning Bangkok as one of Asia’s most compelling destinations for art, dialogue, and creative exchange.
“Bangkok Kunsthalle is a to impose an architectural vision that invite artists to elaborate and to conceive an installation for each floor they decide where to operate and they come up with a proposal this allows us to grow the architectural intervention at the same time artists are invited to really embrace Thainess and I often say that even international artists become Thai when they needed to operate and act like in Thai conditions…. what I feel is a really inspiring is it give me a new perspective is how you like this international artist to embrace the Thai culture and I think to integrate in this culture I realised by integrating in a new context is actually is adapting and acquiring a new platform for you to shine… and then by integrating into that context and then the audience here they notice they would pay attention to their practice and also they’re being like adapted by market by the system by the whole world.”
