Art Space

Social

An art space for sparking ideas more clearly than meets the eye is a platform that gives an opportunity for artists to showcase their artwork or express their ideas without limitations. It is also an important platform for the public to learn more about the artists’ work to boost their income and expand on their creative ideas for society in the future. Throughout 2024, noble PLAY held six art exhibitions as follows:

1. Artist Exhibitions

(Mad Project): Very Happy Episode

An art exhibition featuring artists with special needs was held in collaboration with a developmentally delayed artist (PDD-NOS), professional designers, and three leading Thai brands DEESAWAT, PASAYA, and PREMPRACHA. Curated by Ms. Arisara Daengprapai (Arisara Studio), the initiative promoted the creative and commercial engagement of individuals with special needs, while fostering social inclusion and sustainable acceptance of diverse abilities through workshops and knowledge exchange.

Strangely Real

Noble PLAY organized an exhibition in collaboration with prominent art collectors Mr. Narong and Ms. Waleeporn Ingkathanet (MoNWIC), and Mr. Uthen Patananimphon, showcasing 13 contemporary works by 10 Thai artists to the public for the first time. The exhibition conveyed social, cultural, and imaginative themes through various artistic media. It also featured a panel discussion on “The Role of Collectors and the Importance of Public Spaces,” aimed at promoting understanding and supporting a sustainable art ecosystem within society.

Adaptation

Noble PLAY, in collaboration with artist Vitchulada Pindhanaranuwong, organized an art exhibition using reclaimed materials to highlight environmental issues and promote resource efficiency. A total of 2,865 kilograms of construction debris and site waste were transformed into artworks exploring the relationship between humans, cities, and the environment. The exhibition contributed to a reduction of 7,318.61 kgCO2e in carbon footprint and generated income for over 40 households through their participation in waste collection, sorting, and material development for sustainable art creation.

2. Thesis Exhibition

Recognizing the potential of the new generation and the importance of open-mindedness, the Company has continued to support noble PLAY as a free exhibition space and advisor for student showcases for the second consecutive year. From 26 June to 9 July 2024, the Company supported thesis exhibitions for students from three universities. An “Open House: THESIS Exhibition” orientation was also organized, featuring special talks by Mr. Dulayapol Srichan (PDM BRAND) and Mr. Wanas Choktaweesak (ease studio), who shared insights on the creative business landscape and provided guidance on art exhibition practices to help students further develop their professional projects.

  2. CapQuest: Chasing Dreams & Success” Thesis Exhibition Featuring 197 photographs, this exhibition expressed personal identity and aspirations through the lens of photography students from the Department of Communication Design, Faculty of Architecture, Art, and Design, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. The works were showcased across six categories: Advertising, Portrait, Fashion, Fine Art, Editorial, and Documentary.
