Having noticed a tendency in writings on Thai contemporary art in quoting and referring to a restricted set of sociocultural texts, Narawan Pathomvat will conduct a research-based project focusing on mapping and analyzing bibliographical data in Southeast Asian contemporary art writings. Through collections of Southeast Asian writings in various institutions in Singapore and interviews and discussions with experts in the field she hopes to identify art historical, theoretical, philosophical influences in contemporary art writings in the region.
