In addition, ROH is also delighted to present TECHNO GAME, a site-specific body of work by Udomsak Krisanamis (b. 1966 Bangkok, Thailand) specifically conceived for Art Basel Hong Kong 2024. Shaped by the era of 1970s electronic music, Krisanamis combines collage and painting to create his own distinct artistic language. The presentation marries the language the artist has refined over three decades spent in Chicago, New York, and Chiang Mai with a new-found dynamism which blends the deep complexity of his process with lightness and freedom, a chaotic serenity. Known as much for his dense labyrinths of circles and letters sprawling endlessly across his canvases and decisive strokes of colors as he is for his love of ball games, Krisanamis’ Kabinett presentation proposes a world where painting, golf, and beats co-exist.

Udomsak's Kabinett presentation is enriched by contributions from Chomwan Weeraworawit.

As Chomwan Weeraworawit described in her essay, "Painting for Krisanamis, is life. As is golf, and other ball games, music, family, friends, food, and the pursuit of joy. The complexity eventually becomes so simple as the layers eat into each other, in this convergency, a new energy, a new harmony is found. The rules of a game can be complex, but they can be learnt, there is no guarantee of an outcome, yet one must continue to play. The act of painting, as well as golf and any other game, is one of devotion and challenging the lines that are set."

“Here's a game to imagine: each playing field, though structurally similar, is materially different in every detail. There are bunkers and hazards. You play on your own, alongside others, but not with them, and not really against them. You have a set of specialized tools to choose from, and a knowledge of the way the territory has been marked by previous players. The way to begin is to start walking. Calculating strokes. Hitting little balls into the sky.”
