We are pleased to present Collapsing Clouds Form Stars, a mini-retrospective exhibition by artist Som Supapinya at Gallery VER. This exhibition brings together Supapinya’s major works that have never been shown in Thailand, including Collapsing Clouds Form Stars and Band ​Books series, which critically unveil, through spatial and linguistic approaches, precarious conditions in Thai society immediately post-2014 coup d’état and under military rule. The show also presents Supaparinya’s latest video work The Unsung Lyric of Ping​* that chronicles pivotal transformation of the Ping River (in the North of Thailand) before and after the major flood in 2024 and its catastrophic consequences that reflect an imbalance in relations between human beings and nature. The Unsung Lyric of Ping is a companion piece to The Rivers They Don’t See, currently exhibiting at the National Gallery, as part of the Bangkok Art Biennale 2024.

Gallery VER invites you to explore the multifaceted world of Supapinya’s art – experiencing her unique body of works shown together for the first time in this mini-retrospective exhibition, through diverse perspectives, perceptive interpretations, and fragile beauty that reveals a profound truth in nature and society.
