And Still, Another After opens in Bangkok on 10 October
The Jim Thompson Art Center presents And Still, Another After as a group exhibition by six emerging artists. Curated by Rinrada Na Chiangmai, it brings together Bhumikorn Kongtaveelert, Pitchada Poolsawad, Piyatida Piyamassakul, Pakapat Limlertphonboon, Sareena Sattapon, Nat Setthana, Marisa Srijunpleang and PLERN VERN.
The exhibition considers how a younger generation in Thailand encounters social, economic and ecological conditions inherited from the recent past. Its themes include the continuing effects of financial crisis, political instability, migration, border conflict and ecological transformation. The official exhibition page says the presentation unfolds across the Jim Thompson Art Center and William Warren Library.
Works include video, photography, sound, installation and spatial interventions. The programme links everyday materials with questions of labour, belonging, landscape and survival, giving the exhibition a contemporary counterpart to the historic residence next door.
Jim Thompson House connects teak architecture with new art
The museum was built in 1958-59 by Jim Thompson, an American architect, silk entrepreneur and collector of Asian art. The official history records that he acquired six old teak houses from different sources, including Pak Hai in the Ayutthaya region and Bangkok, then had their sections reassembled at the site.
Thompson moved into the residence on 3 April 1959. The house stands on teak pillars a full floor above the ground, while the oldest and most impressive component dates from around 1800. Its traditional construction and the contemporary exhibition now share one cultural compound, allowing the 10 October 2026 opening to place new work beside a preserved historic setting. The house history describes the residence, garden and original construction.
