Wantanee's one man show, 2006


In this works, Wantanee argues with the problems, which she see in today's art Society. Ironically, by the contemporary art, she states her art to the present art context. She thinks that in postmodernism time, many artists want to show themselves, but they have hardly any artistic ideas to offer. They require and try to produce much of its information, e.g., catalog, Website, and interview with well-known magazines. From this idea, she saw the opportunistic cultured swells, which are unconditionally subjected to art dialecticians. Nevertheless, she believes that, as the viewpoints of non-artist of its past, she can consider learning the art to analyze.

At the same time, she modified the spelling of her name, which is Wantanee Siripattananuntakoon, to her artist name Wantanee Siripattananuntakul. Thai names of Thai people can be translated to English names in different forms of writing, even though they have the same meaning. It is playing with the names as a sign of language, which she would like to stress the title part of the artist's name in the art context. Accepting an artist's name gives her an entire artistic identity so that Wantanee makes everything art. Additionally, the artist's name is vital for the possible increase in value of the art object, another reason why an artist would like to become well-known.
