The Reconstruction

In this exhibition that takes place sometime in the future, an artist is commissioned to by a curator in Bangkok to try and piece together information related to human civilisation after the Great Last Extinction, marking the end of the Anthropocene, where humans have caused the annihilation of many of the planet’s animal and plant life. Going through the ruins of humanity, the artist tries to make sense of human history and culture through the detritus and reconstruct meaning based on what has been left behind.

The exhibition features 27 new works on two floors spanning sculpture, installation, painting, drawing and culinary art.
