“Copy-Paste” refers to the Thai education culture where learning is centred on memorising from text books and following instructions from teachers.  Students are not encouraged to be independent and creative, and critical thinking while discovering one’s individual strengths are not commonly promoted.  Through the exhibition, the seven artists use art to relay their experiences in Thai schools and create a dialogue with their audiences about whether they experienced the same thing.

The Artists featured are: Chonlawit Rodjaturakun, Monchai Pitayawaraporn, Powarong Boonchoui, Rukkit Kuanhawate, Saranyu Koontanakulvong, Suebsang Sangwachirapiban and Sujin Wattanawongchai.

The artists have been led to question the critical issues of thought processes found in the greater realms of Thai society.  By using their art to create a dialogue, they hope these questions will lead to positive change and developments in the future.
