Wit Pimkanchanapong - Not Quite a Total Eclipse September 3rd � October 25th, 2009 Opening Reception - Thursday September 17th, 2009 at 7 pm. 100 Tonson Gallery presents �Not Quite a Total Eclipse� by Wit Pimkanchanapong, one of the most outstanding Thai�contemporary artists.� Wit has participated in various exhibitions in locally and internationally�including; Japan, Italy, France, and United Arab Emirates.� This year, he�has been invited to�partake in Asia Pacific Triennial in Queensland, Australia.���At 100 Tonson Gallery,�the artist will present his�latest innovative sculpture which has been developed from his interest in�mechanical systems observed from�various machineries and branched out into the creation of artworks.� The artist combines architectural along with engineering skills�to create special art piece, which becomes the unique characteristic of artist. � Not Quite a Total Eclipse is inspired by Wit�s interest in the light and shadow that were cast in his previous work �Mai-Ya-Rab� during the night time.� His interest leads to the process of developing the system, researching the topic, and exploring the possibilities. Using the combination of robotic movement and the light and shadow, Wit creates a site-specific installation work for 100 Tonson Gallery. �The artist re-creates the total eclipse phenomenon that is caused by the alignment of the planets.� Although the natural phenomena only last for a short period of time, its prolonged effect causes people to react differently: excited, scared, confused, curious, and happy. � For more information, please contact 100 Tonson Gallery Artist� Profile: � Wit Pimkanchanapong (Born 1976 Bangkok) �Graduated from the faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand(1992) and then held MA in Visual communication; Electronic Media & Time-Based Media, Kent Institute of Art & Design, Maidstone, UK (1994).� Wit participates in several local and international exhibitions such as, Paraphernalia, Galerie du Ha�douc, Bourges, France (2003), Have we met?
