We’re happy to announce that Ground View #1 of the Ground View Project by Li Weiy in collaboration with students of ISS produced during last year’s AiR Lab programme, was selected to be part of the Stop Drawing exhibition at MAXXI - National Museum of 21st Century Art in Rome (April–September), curated by Pippo Ciorra.

It was the first Lab community collaborative project and the also the first time for the artist to create artwork with a community. The results have been encouraging!

We were so happy to have Dr Rames, the owner of Hall of Historical Nathon-Samui, the first collaborator for Puvamin’s AiR project with us. His space in the old town Nathon tells the stories of some remarkable individuals from Samui, some fun facts, as well as some historical incidents happened in Samui and some of his own family history.

One of the display is a set model of the movie Paradise Island, which was filmed in Koh Samui in 1969, that inspired Puvamin for his Air project Memories on Paradise Island- a documentary of history told my the people of the island.

Dr Rames and his Hall of Historical Nathon- Samui team have been the most supportive friends to us from the beginning of this round of AiR. Dr Rames dedication in preserving the island’s history is an inspiration to us on the importance of individuals role in constructing history.

Puvamin’s third workshop was the final event in the community collaborative workshop series, held at the Hall of Historical Nathon-Samui in Nathon.

Nathon is a historic town adjacent to our AiR. It was Koh Samui’s first city center and port. This charming neighborhood is home to a community of locals with Chinese ancestry, primarily from Hainan, who made long journeys from China. They integrated into the Samui community, forming families with the locals, and their descendants continue to preserve their Chinese heritage. One notable figure is Dr. Rames, the owner of the Hall of Historical Samui, who is part of this lineage.

Upon arriving on the island, Puvamin discovered a private history “museum” in Nathon. Captivated by the artifacts and stories he saw, he decided that his AiR project would focus on the history of Koh Samui as told by its people, leading to the creation of *Memories on Paradise Island*.

The final episode of Puvamin workshop series, he returned to the Hall of Historical Nathon-Samui, where his AiR project began, and invited a group of Nathon residents to bring their favorite family photos to participate in the workshop. Along with the historical photos of old Samui that Puvamin sourced, everyone collaborated to create a photo transfer collage under his guidance.

All the participants were friends and neighbors who have known each other for many years, some for their entire lives. The laughter and joy they shared while reminiscing over the photos were truly heartwarming.

Special thanks to our first collaborator Hall of Historical Nathon-Samui for this round of AiR for providing the venue and their amazing team! 🫶
