Artist
Apichaya Wanthiang
Apichaya Wanthiang creates environments that activate embodied knowledge and somatic memories, exploring how different spaces shape our perceptions, behaviors, and interactions. She primarily works with painting and installations that incorporate light, sound, and text. While each exhibition centers on a specific theme, these serve as a prelude to examining complex and often invisible structures, such as the cumulative effects of racism or the impact of memories on our present actions.
Apichaya Wanthiang has exhibited work at Munch Museum, Oslo; Storage Art Space, Bangkok; and UKS Young Artists’ Society, Oslo, among others.
