A space for contemporary Thai art
SAC Gallery, also known as Subhashok, S.A.C. The Arts Centre, is a privately run arts institution in Sukhumvit Soi 39. Founded in 2012, it supports contemporary Thai and Southeast Asian artists and aims to help their work reach audiences beyond Thailand.
The gallery presents exhibitions, workshops and residencies. Its residency programme supports artists and curators, while its exhibitions have included more than 100 projects. The subjects can be demanding: past shows have addressed topics such as The L/Royal Monument and Monster.
Viewing the exhibitions
The gallery occupies two buildings with a minimalist design. The uncluttered setting gives you space to focus on the work and spend time with exhibitions that may prompt questions or discussion. The programme brings together Thai artists and other contemporary voices, with emerging practitioners among those shown.
There is no admission charge. If you want to talk through an exhibition, staff can offer a point of contact. Check before travelling if access matters to your plans, as renovation work can affect which floors are open.
