Kentaro Hiroki Japanese, b. 1976
Before/During/After comprises
of residues from Kentaro
Hiroki’s solo exhibition at Bangkok University Gallery in 2015, Sound of Silence. On display were recreations of
music scores for the Thai Royal Guards March, composed by His Majesty the late
King Bhumibol Adulyadej, and rearranged by a legendary composer, Phra
Chenduriyang. The artist spent four months
neatly copying the text from the original, which is preserved at the National
Archives.
