webfact Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto made merit by donating money for a metal sheet in the shape of a Bodhi tree leaf and adding it to the Bodhi Tree sculpture at Wat Rong Khun. Internationally acclaimed artists Tobias Rehberger, Ernesto Neto, Haegue Yang, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Nguyen Trinh Thi, Baan Nok Collective and Navin Rawanchaikul are amongst the headliners of the Thailand Biennale Chiang Rai 2023. They were among the first 20 artists recently revealed by Culture Ministry at Wat Rong Khun or White Temple, a famous tourist destination in Chiang Rai, during the press conference held on March 25. Co-hosted by the Culture Ministry’s Office of Contemporary Art and Culture and Chiang Rai province with a budget of Bt153 million, the Thailand Biennale 2023 aims to turn the Northern city into an international art and culture hub as well as a tourist destination stimulated by this international contemporary art festival.
