Wantanee Siripattananuntakul
Biography
Wantanee Siripattananuntakul(b.1974 Bangkok; lives and works in Bangkok) Siripattananuntakul’ artworks take a critical view on social, political, economic and cultural issues. Each project often consists of different media such as sculptures, sound, videos and interactive installations, grouped around specific themes and messages. Although there may not always be material simi- larities between different projects, they are linked by recurring themes and genuine concerns on the subject matter.
Wantanee Siripattananuntakul is recognized for exploring the potential of works of art to raise many social questions and to increase awareness of social issues. In 2007, she was chosen to be the representative of Thai artists to join the 53rd Venice Biennale and she are one of 13 Thai emerging artists who were chosen by Bangkok collectors in 2016. Most of her renowned past works are in the forms of video art, sculptures, and installations based on the utilization of many new forms of media. They include Wantanocchiobot’09 (2009); (Dis)continuity (2012); Living with un Common Value (2012); Dynamic convergences: sociology and art (2014); State of Ridiculous (2015), Human AlieNation (2016), Play in the Flow (2017) and The Broken Ladder(2018).
