Drawing from a collection shaped over three decades and expanded through new collaborations,(In)visible Presence is the inaugural exhibition for the new Thai Museum. The exhibition brings together 81 works by 40 contemporary artists, many showing in Thailand for the first time. Through sound, scent, light, and unconventional materials, the artworks enable us to sense what cannot be seen.
In Pae White’s Module#1390 NCS-Color S0530-G20Y (sea foam green) (2014), on view in the show, illumination is not simply projected but embodied. Constructed from copper, epoxy filler, glass, wire, and a halogen illuminant, the work emits a muted, almost aquatic glow that resists spectacle. The color: precise, coded, industrial, nevertheless feels atmospheric, as if light itself were being held in suspension. Rather than directing attention outward, the piece draws the viewer into a heightened awareness of perception itself, a reminder that light is both information and sensation, something that registers in the body before it resolves in thought.
