Photocubism
by Objectifs
Location: Objectifs
Artist(s): Mingmongkul SONAKUL
Date: 24 Apr - 7 Jun 2010

The exhibition of 16 photo collages records the artist's experiences and interaction with places she has visited around the world, from Bangkok to New York and Los Angeles. She uses different angles and time lapses to tell the story of her subjects.

The works are printed onto fine archival-quality cotton canvas coated with acid-free primer with the same standards of the Fine Art Trade Guild’s blue wool scale, with every scan taken by museum-trained craftsmen. Sonakul has chosen this method because of its museum-standard quality and the environmental management policy of the principal supplier of print which was a recipient of The Queen’s Award for Export Achievement in 1993 and 2007.

Photocubism is a travelling exhibition that showed at La Lanta Gallery in late 2009 to a sold-out show.
