Published to accompany a group exhibition of the same title held at 10 Chancery Lane Gallery, Hong Kong. 'More than a century of simmering national malaise has fueled the art of two generations of Thai practitioners working in contemporary mode. The six artists of Subjective Truth tackle the exhibition theme from multiple angles, all worrying the subject via national anthems. This emphasis has its origins in the pivotal place of pillars of nation in contemporary Thailand's discordant reality. The choice also comes from a concern for reception, the six trusting in the legibility of their pieces through an idiom that if codified, can be understood by all Thais.' - excerpt from front flap
