James Gallego Olivo is visiting Bangkok via Lab X, a pilot artistic residency and cultural exchange between Thailand and the UK, supported by the British Council’s Connections Through Culture program.
Artsadmin and Creative Migration, have co-designed this nine-month artist development program, to confront the profound challenges faced by artists and producers working internationally. This micro-residency is designed to provide artists with time, space and money to develop their practice, without expectation of delivery, and it is an opportunity for artists and producers across locality to engage in mentorship, artistic dialogues and cross-sector support.
Artsadmin will host Thai-based artist and activist Nawarat "Nammon" Welployngam and Community-Based Artist-Activist and Art Director Tharinee "Palm" Ratanasatien for two weeks in October 2024.

Francisco López
=
Francisco López is internationally recognized as one of the major figures of the sound art and experimental music scene. For almost forty years he has developed an astonishing sonic universe, absolutely personal and iconoclastic, based on a profound listening of the world. Destroying boundaries between industrial sounds and wilderness sound environments, shifting with passion from the limits of perception to the most dreadful abyss of sonic power, proposing a blind, profound and transcendental listening, freed from the imperatives of knowledge and open to sensory and spiritual expansion.
June 2023
Francisco López performed the world premiere of his new sound composition, ‘HIMAVANTA’ at Bangkok 1899 on 23 - 24 June 2023. The performances were the second section of a two-part residency supported by the Embassy of Spain in Bangkok. The performances were created exclusively with original environmental recordings of Thailand’s rainforests, which were recorded during the first part of the artist’s one month residency last September-October at Bangkok 1899.
During his residency, López utilized his philosophy of exploring the sensorial and ontological reality with a blind, profound and transcendental listening, reinterpreting what he calls an ‘anthropoEXcentric’ understanding of wilderness sound environments and sonic creatures. López’s new performances creatively worked with a myriad of these new original materials and live sound spatialization. As a way to expand reality, his performances gave rise to a new and unique immersive experience of Thailand’s rainforests.
