'KAWS:HOLIDAY' Makes Its Way to Thailand for 13th Global Stop
Expected to merge modern artistry with Thailand’s rich cultural heritage from May 13-25.
KAWS:HOLIDAY is bringing its world-renowned contemporary art experience to Thailand, marking its 13th stop on a global tour that has spanned from Seoul to outer space. The large-scale installation, created by artist Brian Donnelly aka KAWS in collaboration with AllRightsReserved (ARR), will be on display from May 13 to 25, with the exact location to be revealed soon.
Following recent appearances in Le Brassus, Switzerland and Indonesia’s Prambanan temple complex, this latest stop is expected to merge modern artistry with Thailand’s rich cultural heritage. The installation, presented in partnership with Central Embassy, continues KAWS’s mission to create immersive experiences that encourage viewers to pause, reflect and engage with art in unconventional settings.
True to its signature theme, the sculpture will depict KAWS’s Companion character in a contemplative pose, inviting visitors to take a moment for introspection. Since its debut in 2018, KAWS:HOLIDAY has left an artistic imprint on major cities including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and Melbourne, as well as more remote destinations like Changbai Mountain in China.
With Thailand’s deep-rooted traditions and dynamic art scene, the latest installment of KAWS:HOLIDAY promises to blend seamlessly with the country’s cultural landscape, offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of contemporary art and heritage.
