Korakrit Arunanondchai cofounds Ghost festival, shifting from solo exhibitions to collaborative curation

Korakrit Arunanondchai has presented solo exhibitions at numerous international venues including the National Gallery Prague, Canal Projects in New York, Art Sonje Center in Seoul, Singapore Art Museum, and Moderna Museet in Stockholm with a show titled 'From dying to living'. His multimedia practice explores themes of animism, obscured memories, and lost histories. Arunanondchai emphasized to Art News that his work aims to create 'a sense of a shared place' rather than an individual voice. To achieve this collaborative vision, he cofounded the festival Ghost, which debuted in 2018 with Arunanondchai as curator. The festival returned in October as Ghost 2565, referencing the Buddhist calendar year, with Arunanondchai taking on roles as organizer and fundraiser. For this edition, curator Christina Li invited artists including Meriem Bennani, Wu Tsang, and Tulapop Saenjaroen to exhibit across various venues in Bangkok.
