Indigo Kingdom by Vipoo Srivilasa


A solo exhibition at Anna Pappas Gallery.
3-23 December 2009; Opening Wednesday 2 December 6 pm.

Indigo Kingdom tells a theatrical story of the contemporary human impact upon coral reefs. Using a traditional Thai narrative of an imagined kingdom as a foundation from which to create his own personal kingdom, Srivilasa turns ceramic sculpture into a storytelling device – in this exhibition the installation becomes the reinterpretation of an ancient Thai temple plan.


In the same vein, he uses his work to write his own biography. To guide us through the play of references in this complex commentary, Srivilasa calls upon the help of his mermaid alter-ego. The mermaid, like the coral, is the canary in the mine, an indicator of imminent threat. In all, Indigo Kingdom is as much high-camp globalist fantasy as it is a sober reminder of the environmental crisis of the present day.
