TAF Conversation Series: Puangsoi “Rose” Aksornsawang

Puangsoi “Rose” Aksornsawang will share a short excerpt of sound and text that takes water as a site where personal stories intersect with public histories. This excerpt and ongoing research will inform a forthcoming artwork which explores Aksornsawang’s consistent engagement with water in her past projects. This artwork will incorporate original writing and sonic recordings in various locations and bodies of water, from Berlin and Singapore to the Nakorn Sawan (origin of the Chao Phraya River and the title of Aksornsawang’s first feature film).

Aksornsawang’s presentation will be followed by a conversation with TAF Associate Curator Wong Binghao (Bing) about her previous artistic projects, and her use of literary, filmic, and multimedia approaches to deconstruct the materiality of art objects and their disciplinary boundaries.

About Tanoto Art Foundation (TAF) Conversation Series
Developed to manifest the foundation’s process-based and research-driven programming, TAF Conversation Series engages artists and their collaborators to respond, reflect, and shape TAF’s research concerns. Intently blurring the line between the work-in-progress and its finished form, TAF Conversation Series highlights the process and flux of artistic practice, where transformation is constant. TAF’s 2025 / 2026 research rubric is Materiality.
