Art lovers are invited to discover the everyday choreography of Yaowarat life during "Vernacular Objects", which is running at Bangkok Kunsthalle on Maitri Chit Road until March 15. Curated by Mark Chearavanont, the exhibition takes visitors to see the district through the quiet poetry of its everyday materials. On show is a collection of ready-mades gathered from the surrounding neighbourhood -- objects originally created as improvised parking space holders. Born out of pure necessity, these constructions shift inside the art space from functional street markers into aesthetic artefacts and informal anthropological documents, revealing a vernacular unique to Yaowarat. A codified language emerges -- a vernacular of Yaowarat.
