MOK BUAKAOW @ ACTION FACTORY
22 June-7 September 2009
Action Factory, Clarendon Road, Blackburn BB1 9SS
Mok currently lives and works in Minneapolis, USA
During her residency, Mok will develop her ongoingNong Project. First created in 2000 in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Nong is a three-foot tall sculpture made from clay. Based in part on Buddhism and inspiration taken from children, Nong embodies “play”: an outsider wherever he (or she) goes, Nong is comfortable in its own skin, maintaining a good-humoured smile at all times.
Mok’s Nong Project, as a social sculpture, has travelled to many countries including northern Thailand and the northern United States, and now in 2009 for the first time to Blackburn with Darwen!
Participants will get a chance to interact with Mok in the creation of the Blackburn Nong sculptures, and the final sculptures and documentation will be exhibited as part of the final plAAy exhibition running from 5 September–21 November, Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery.
