More to Love: The Art of Living Together
24 July – 15 August 2008

This year, ARTAIDS organize the art event “More to Love: The Art of Living Together” with collaborations from government and non-government sections in order to raise the awareness on fighting with stigma around HIV by using art and creative activities to convey the message of that we can live together with HIV/AIDS. As well as, to create a new perception of HIV through various kinds of media, we have more than 100 people who contribute in this project, including doctors, people living with HIV, NGO, artists, curators, writers, art and cultural workers, musicians, actor and actress. “More to Love” was started in July 2007 and has different activities between artists-artists and artists-doctors in order to encounter this issue and create the artworks under the concept of living together which will be exhibited in July – August 2008 at 4 venues in Bangkok and December 2008 in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

The Art Center of Chulalongkorn University is delighted to announce an exhibition of painting and
mixed-media worksthat offerinsights into what it means to imagine notions of the ‘self’ in terms of the physical body.

Featuring expatriate and Thai artists, Sensational Selves addresses questions of the physical self as opposed to
metaphysical concepts of soul, mind, or, in Buddhist thought, atta. These artists raise critical issues, propositions
and revelations about the matter of physical identity in a world of appearances; the capacity of the human body to
represent sensation as the result of social experience and states of mind; and the place and relevance of the
humanist tradition in visual art for local contexts.
