For tomorrow for tonight
IMMA Irish Museum of Modern Art
27 de julio - 31 de octubre, 2011

The exhibition at IMMA, entitled For Tomorrow For Tonight, features new work that explores the theme of night through video, photographs and installation. Night and darkness are recurring motifs in Weerasethakul’s films (such as Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Tropical Malady and The Primitive Project) and the themes are examined even further here. This new multimedia installation was made following The Primitive Project, which was shown to critical acclaim around the world, and his feature film Uncle Boonmee.

Weerasethakul was born in 1970 in Bangkok and grew up in Khon Kaen, a city in the north east of Thailand. He received a degree in Architecture from Khon Kaen University and a Master of Fine Arts in Filmmaking from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has been making films and videos since the early 1990s.

The exhibition, curated by Enrique Juncosa, Director of IMMA, is accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue designed by Pony, London and featuring texts by Chris Dercon, Director of Tate Modern and Eungie Joo, curator at New Museum, New York among others. During July and August, the IFI is running a season of his films to coincide with the exhibition at the Museum.
