Art & Living: Final Stretch for Thailand Biennale, Phuket 2025 Before Curtains Close in Phuket on April 16, 2026 | 21:17

Thailand Biennale, Phuket 2025 is entering its final stretch before the curtain closes on April 16, 2026, transforming Phuket from a beach destination into a hub for contemporary art. This international festival, themed “Eternal [Kalpa],” has turned over 20 locations across the island into an open-air canvas, with site-specific works by Thai and international artists interwoven into the city’s historic and natural landscapes.

Three Curated Routes and Notable Installations

The event unfolds along three main routes, each offering a distinct perspective on Phuket’s heritage and environment. In the Heritage & City Vibes route, installations appear amid Old Town’s historic buildings, including the Phuket Contemporary Art Gallery, Pearl Cinema, and Jui Tui Shrine. Artists such as Melati Suryodarmo and Rirkrit Tiravanija have reimagined these spaces, creating works that engage with the area’s spiritual and historical significance.

Beyond the city center, the Beyond the City, where Art Meets Nature route leads visitors to sites like the former Chao Fah Mine and Promthep Cape. Here, artists including Andrew Thomas Huang and Nolan Oswald Dennis present pieces that explore the intersection of local culture and the natural world. Each route invites viewers to reconsider familiar locations through new artistic interpretations, reinforcing Phuket’s evolving identity as a center for creative dialogue.
