Sriwiang Gallery is situated in the heart of Bangkok, along Sri Wiang main road, in close proximity to the Pramual Palace—an ancient area steeped in a rich history spanning over 120 years. The gallery's architectural design reflects the unique character of the era, blending colonial influences with a harmonious fusion of Thai and Western art. Constructed in 1912, during the reign of the 5th monarch, the gallery stands as a testament to the artistic heritage of the region.
Sriwiang gallery aims to approach the central questions of our times through the production, display, and dissemination of contemporary art. Not only as an institution, but also as a dynamic and lively space for progressive practices within the Bangkok art scene, as well as in an international context. By hosting exhibitions and events, and fostering a range of emerging and established artists, Sriwiang gallery has aligned itself towards the current tendencies of the national and international art and cultural discourse.
The current program has the central objective of using the participating artists’ perspective as a starting point, entailing their subjects and points of view as ways to reflect on social and political issues. We embrace the region’s manifold of personal and collective histories while remaining sharply current, advocating for critical contemporary discourse and inquiry.
The institution is thereby conceived as a social space that facilitates contemplation and exchange between different protagonists and cultures, consistently challenging its audience.The gallery acts as a ground for plurality and reconciliation, joining the past and present, as well as the individual and social.
