The story

Bangkok Art Biennale in Bangkok

Bangkok Art Biennale turns a contemporary-art visit into a route through the city, placing installations in museums, commercial districts and working Buddhist temples. Founded in 2018 and held every two years, it rewards visitors who divide the programme into compact city and river days rather than attempting every venue at once.

At Bangkok Art Biennale, the interval between artworks can involve a metro platform, a cross-river ferry and the tiled courtyard of a working temple.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The biennale does not isolate contemporary art inside a single exhibition hall

02

The mystery stays covered

Works appear at BACC and Museum Siam, in new urban developments, and beside active worship at Wat Pho, Wat Arun and Wat Prayoon

03

The city starts moving

That friction between international contemporary practice, Bangkok street life and religious heritage is the event's defining experience

04

The water draws everyone in

Organizer-designed city and river routes make the movement between those contrasting sites part of how the art is interpreted
