The artist’s list of solo exhibitions, showcasing his multimedia meditations on animism, lost histories and obscured memories, might be dizzying – the National Gallery Prague; inaugurating nonprofit Canal Projects in New York; Art Sonje Center, Seoul; Singapore Art Museum; and, given that workload, the perhaps aptly titled From dying to living, at Moderna Museet, Stockholm – but Arunanondchai has never just been a solo player. ‘The thing I always wanted to share in my work is this sense of a shared place,’ he told Art News. ‘You can’t do it through an individual voice or in an individual.’ The solution was to cofound his own festival: Ghost debuted in 2018 with Arunanondchai as curator, and returned in October as Ghost 2565 (the date in the Buddhist calendar), in which he’s more organiser and fundraiser, leaving Christina Li to invite artists including Meriem Bennani, Wu Tsang and Tulapop Saenjaroen to show at venues across Bangkok.
