Bangkok Eyes on NAVIGATING THE BANGKOK NOIR
ANNOUNCEMENT
Friday, 7 p.m, 1 April, 2011 :
1 April - 30 April 2011 :
Location:
"Noir" is a word that is quietly growing - nay, pushing it's way up into the English language like one of those giant luminous mushrooms in Alice In Wonderland. So then, what exactly is "Noir"? We are aware that it is derived from the French word for 'black', but then what? "Noir", while not surreal like Alice In Wonderland, does have an element of other-real - a distinctly darker real. Noir is one of those words that each of us feels he knows, if only on a visceral level - but no one can really get down to brass tacks and nail it down. Those that do try to define it either use too many words, or come back tomorrow and say, "What I meant by that was....". (All original works on display 1 April to 30 April.)
