Krungthep is the Thai name for Bangkok and it was exactly 226 years ago when it was officially established as the new capital of Siam.The show is thus a celebration of how various artists view and present Bangkok through the years. Interpretations of the future of the city was showcased in the section "Dream Bangkok". The other zones of the exhibit are "Banglok in the Early Days", "Modernised Bangkok vs Nostalgic Past", and "New Bangkok Skyline".
The works were made up mostly of paintings along with a number of sculptures, installations, mix media, videos, and photographs.

[g]: true.ang dami pang details ang piece na yan that i wasn't able to photograph.
kiel: klong tom is a market of second hand stuff in bkk (i think). so most of these are reinterpreted found objects.
donita: true. this is a humongous piece and the pic above is just a detail. looks like wooden block prints no?
