In the last week of our exhibition, Para Site is pleased to launch the Apichatpong Weerasethakul Sourcebook: The Serenity of Madness, co-published by Independent Curators International and MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum. The evening will feature a conversation with artist Chai Siris, who has been working closely over the years with Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and is the current participant in Para Site’s International Art Residency. The conversation will offer insights from the editorial selection of materials included in the sourcebook, and will invite the audience into an intimate exploration of Weerasethakul’s influences.

The Apichatpong Weerasethakul Sourcebook: The Serenity of Madness is the third in a publication series by Independent Curators International that offers a contemporary perspective on social, political, and cultural issues that impact and inspire artists today. The book includes a collection of primary research materials, such as rare archival documents, artwork studies, and excerpts of landmark publications, selected from the artist’s own archive and annotated with personal commentary.

The publication will be available for purchase at the launch event for a special price of 350 HKD. Further copies can be purchased by sending an email to info@para-site.art, or online here: http://curatorsintl.org/shop/apichatpong
