The work uses Thai mackerel as a metaphor for survival within systems of labour, value, and consumption, rooted in its history as affordable everyday food. Moving in schools and ending in consumption, the fish reflects how external demands shape life, including market-driven modifications to its body. The catalog frames a broader question: when life is organized for use, exchange, and display, is survival real or are people consumed in another form?","SURVIVAL  \nby SZACK  \nm Galleria 2  \nmangoSTEEMS Arts and Learning Center 3rd Floor, River City Bangkok  \n2026  \n25 APR 16 JUN  \nE-Catalog  \nSURVIVAL  \nby SZACK  \n25 APR-16 JUN 2026  \nm Galleria 2  \nmangoSTEEMS Arts and Learning Center 3rd Floor, River City Bangkok  \nSURVIVAL OF THE FISHES   \nศิล tป น : SZACK  \nf f  \nในผลงานชิน นี ศิล น Szack ใ ช้ “ ปลาทูไทย” เ น อุปมาอุปไมยของการเอาชีวิตรอดภายใต้ระบบแรงงาน มูล ค่าและการบริโภค ซึc งปลาทูเ นอาหารพืf น บ้านทีc มีราคาย่อมเยาและพบได้ทัc วไปในหลายภูมิภาคของประเทศไทยจึงสะท้อนประวัติศาสตร์ของความจําเ qป นและการดํารงชีพ  \nอ ย่างไรก็ตาม ผลงานนีf ไ ม่ไ ด้พูด ถึงปลาเพียงอย่างเดียว การเคลืc อนไหวเ qป น ฝูง การต้องเคลืc อนไหวตลอดเวลาและท้ายทีc สุด ถูก นําไปบริโภค ล้วนสะท้อนวงจรทีc ชีวิต ถูก กําหนดโดยแรงกดดันจากภายนอก แ ม้แ ต่รู ป ร่างของมัน  \nc  \nก็ยัง ถูกปรับเปลียนให้สอดคล้องกับความต้องการของตลาด  \nผ่านมุมมองนีf Survival of the Fishes ไ ด้ตัf ง คําถามในระดับ ทีc ก ว้างขึf น ว่า เ มืc อ ชีวิต ถูก จัดระเบียบเพืc อการใช้งาน การแลกเปลีc ยน และการแสดง เรากํา ลัง “อ ยู่รอด” อ ย่างแท้จ ริง ห รือแท้จ ริงแล้ว เราเองก็กํา ลัง ถูก  \nc  \nบ ริโภคในอีก รู ปแบบหนึงเช่น กัน ?  \nSURVIVAL  \ntheFishes  \nSURVIVAL OF THE FISHES   \nARTIST: SZACK  \nIn this work, Artist Szack uses the Thai mackerel as a metaphor for survival within systems of labour, value, and consumption . Long associated in Thailand with affordable, everyday food across the provinces, the mackerel carries a history of necessity and subsistence .  \nYet this work is not simply about fish. Moving in schools, living in constant motion, and ultimately ending in consumption, the Thai mackerel reflects a cycle in which life is shaped by external demands . Even its body is modified to meet the expectations of the market.  \nThrough this lens, Survival of the Fishes asks a wider question: when life is organised for use, exchange, and display, are we truly surviving or are we also being consumed in another form?  \nSURVIVAL  \ntheFishes  \nSZACK  \nเสกสรรค์ ทุม มัย (SEKSUN TOOMMAI)  \nARTIST CONTACT  \nTel.: +668 3223 7623  \n[E-mail: xekxun@gmail.com](E-mail: xekxun@gmail.com)  \n[Instagram: szackkcazs](Instagram: szackkcazs)  \nFacebook: szack kcazs  \nSZACK  \nSZACK is a Thai contemporary artist working across sculpture, painting, and mixed media. He graduated from the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts at Silpakorn University, where early material experimentation informed his evolving practice. A pivotal moment occurred in 2012 during a mural commission at Wat Nong Song Phi Nong in Ubon Ratchathani, when he encountered the banana plant as a deeply embedded cultural object—woven into food, craft, rituals, and everyday language. This experience became the foundation of his ongoing inquiry into the banana as both form and metaphor.  \nIn SZACK’s work, the banana signifies the tension between surface and interior, image and essence—reflecting how social expectations often compel individuals to prioritize appearance over inner truth. Frequently depicted partially peeled, the banana becomes an allegory of selfhood and value: despite changing external layers, what remains within persists intact. Shaped by pop sensibility and intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic, SZACK’s playful yet serious visual language invites audiences through humor while pointing toward deeper psychological and social realities—suggesting that value is not granted externally, but reclaimed from within.  \nSZACK เ น ศิล น ร่วมสมัยชาวไทยผู้ทํางานในหลากหลายสืc อ ทัfง ประติมากรรม จิตรกรรม และสืc อผสม จบการศึกษาระดับปริญญาตรีจากคณะจิตรกรรม ประติมากรรม และภาพพิม พ์ มหาวิทยาลัย ศิลปากร โดยความสนใจในการทดลองวัส ดุและการสร้างรูปทรงได้ ปรากฏ อย่างต่อเนืc องในแนวทางการทํางานของเขา จุดเปลีc ยนสํา คัญเกิด ขึf นใน พ. ศ. 2555 ระหว่างการทําโครงการจิตรกรรมฝาผนังเรืc องพุทธประวัติ ณ วัดผาน้องสองพีc น้อง จังหวัด อุบลราชธานี ซึc ง ทําให้เขาพบ “ต้นกล้วย”ในฐานะวัต ถุทางวัฒนธรรมทีc ฝa ง รากลึกอยู่ในวิถีชีวิตไทย ทัfงในมิติของอาหาร งานหัตถกรรม พิธีกรรม ตลอดจนสํานวนภาษา  \nc c f c  \nและความเชือ จากประสบการณ","cbCaibXucmm1BiOD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibXucmm1BiOD","pdf",5170216,1,28,"English","en",105,"# Overview\n## Exhibition Information\n## Artist Statement\n## Artwork & Works","[{\"question\":\"What metaphor does Szack use in Survival of the Fishes?\",\"answer\":\"Szack uses the Thai mackerel as a metaphor for survival within systems of labour, value, and consumption.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the catalog describe the relationship between life and external demands?\",\"answer\":\"It presents life as shaped by external pressures, from the fish’s constant motion to how its form is modified to meet market expectations.\"},{\"question\":\"What broader question does Survival of the Fishes ask?\",\"answer\":\"It asks whether people truly survive when life is organised for use, exchange, and display, or whether they are also being consumed in another form.\"}]","SURVIVAL OF THE FISHES -
