Introduction

Nipan Oranniwesna (b. 1962) is a Bangkok-based contemporary artist whose practice explores the intersections of social inquiry, historical research, and spatial poltics. Working across painting, objects, photography, moving image, and installation, he examines the relationships between people and territories, approaching place as both material condition and conceptual framework. Drawing on personal and collective memory, his work reflects on landscape, migration, and the construction of history.

Oranniwesna's work has been presented internationally, including Thailand Biennale Chiang Rai (2023); Stories We Tell To Scare Ourselves With (MOCA Taipei, 2019); Zones Sensibles (49 Nord 6 Est - FRAC Lorraine, Metz, 2016); Hiroshima Triogy: 70th Anniversany of the Atomic Bombing, Part Bird's Eye Vief the World (Hiroshima Chy Museum of Contemporary Ar, 2015); Setouchi Triennale (2013); Singapore Biennale (2013); The 18th Biennale of Syohney (2012), the Thai Pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennale (2007)
