‘Thank You’
Thank you W***y Hansana for your participation in Artist Open Studio – work in progress. from 1st July - 15 August 2926 @ i:cat gallery. The open studio offered a glimpse into the contemporary art practice of W***y Hansana as a painter.
Expressive & tactile, the paintings virtually resonate with the artists emotion & thinking.
One distinctive image emerges from the expressive forms; the shy & mysterious elusive Saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis). Last recorded sighting 2013. So interesting to see it here as an apparition; alive & well.
Thank you again W***y Hansana W***y Hansana

Beneath the Currents of Memory

Explore “memory” as a living current—continually in motion rather than a fixed past—interwoven with key concerns including the shifting ecologies of the Mekong and Songkhram river basins, migration and displacement, belief systems, political histories, and the transmission of cultural heritage, as articulated through contemporary art.

Beneath the Currents of Memory is a group exhibition bringing together six artists from the GMS Artist Residency 2026 programme. It presents contemporary works developed through on-site engagement and lived encounters with the landscapes, communities, and narratives of Nakhon Phanom Province. The exhibition is presented as part of the GMS ART FEST 2026: Mekong Contemporary Art Festival, organised by the Office of Contemporary Art and Culture, Ministry of Culture.

Date: 8 - 23 August 2026
Exhibition Venues
- Phanom Witthayakhan School
