Ariane Sutthavong

Ariane Sutthavong works across curatorial, editorial and discursive formats, moving through collective processes and the uneasy intersection of art and politics. Her practice often emerges from sites of friction—between languages, temporalities or social imaginaries—and seeks to hold space for forms of knowledge that don’t readily translate.

She has delivered exhibitions, programmes and talks for Frédéric de Goldschmidt Collection; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo; Gallery VER; Cartel Artspace; Asian Art Biennial 2024; documenta fifteen; Bangkok Biennial 2020; MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum and more.

Her upcoming project “Downtime Parlour” at JWD Artspace (Bangkok) continues her research into protest memory and the slow labour of building solidarities. She co-founded (2020-2025) the inappropriate BOOK CLUB, an ongoing initiative centred around the collective reading and writing of texts supporting a third view of contemporary art in Thailand, beyond both the confines of the state and the interests of capitalism.
