A Decadent Afternoon: Tasting Menu + Art Tour of UN/Thaid

Grau Projekt is celebrating the current exhibition with a cocktail tasting menu from the artist-curated drinking program.

The UN/THAID tasting menu will include:

- A guided art walkthrough of the exhibition, learning about the artists, their ideas, practice and current body of work
- 3 cocktails which were created in collaboration with the artists specifically for the exhibition
- Limited edition UN/THAID artist-signed poster

This event will run only for one day. Despite the vast space of Grau Projekt, only a limited number of tickets are available. It's a great opportunity to combine two great pastimes, art and drinking.

About the exhibition:
Curated by Thai-born Melbourne-based acclaimed artist Vipoo Srivilasa, this exhibition brings together the work of five contemporary artists from Thailand who now live and work in Australia. Arriving in Australia independently of one another across the 1990s and 2000s, these five artists are based in the urban centres of Melbourne and Sydney and have continued their distinct individual practices since arriving in this country.

The work on display in this exhibition is a diverse offering, including performance, painting, ceramics, sculpture, video, and installation. Articulating multi-dimensional and layered histories, all of these artists are emboldened in their shared cultural experience of growing up in Thailand and then relocating to Australia while continuing to develop and refine their artistic practices. This exhibition features the work of Phaptawan Suwannakudt, Nakarin Aaron Jaikla, Bundit Puangthong, Pimpisa Tinpalit, and Somchai Charoen.
