Moe Satt is included in the Busan Biennale 2026, on view until November 1, 2026. Titled Dissident Chorus, the biennale is co-directed by Evelyn Simons and Amal Khalaf, and unfolds in three movements across Busan, exploring sound, performance, embodied knowledge, and collective forms of gathering

This newly commissioned project by Moe Satt expands gesture into a collective language through performance, photography, and sculpture. Developed through workshops with dancers from Busan, the project centers on 108 combinations of facial and hand gestures presented across photographic installations, sculptural works, and live performance. Incorporating the perspectives of male, female, and q***r participants, it investigates embodiment, intimacy, resistance, and collective expression, while the participation of the artist and his son highlights intergenerational transmission and shared experience.

In conjunction with the last day of “Sīmā”, Vacharanont Sinvaravatn’s solo exhibition, Nova Contemporary is pleased to invite you to a conversation between the artist and Dr. Sayan Daengklom, moderated by Nutdanai Songsriwilai.

Together, they will explore the ideas and themes of “Sīmā”, reflecting on Sinvaravatn’s artistic process, research, and the historical and cultural contexts that inform his practice.

The event will also introduce Almost a Short Story: An Artist’s Notes on Birds and Trees, a publication that extends the artist’s practice into writing through observations, reflections, and storytelling.

About the Speakers

Vacharanont Sinvaravatn is an artist whose practice explores the relationships between place, history and representation. He is particularly interested in the traces and narratives that shape our understanding of places and the past. His work often moves between historical accounts, memory and imagination, examining how boundaries, places and narratives are constructed, defined and transformed through different contexts.

Dr.Sayan Daengklom
is an art historian, art critic and lecturer in the Department of Art History, Faculty of Archaeology, Silpakorn University.

Nutdanai Songsriwilai is an independent curator whose practice is concerned with various aspects of ‘boundaries’ and ‘possibilities’, as well as visual paradigms, modes of presentation and the processes that unfold within exhibition-making. He currently serves as Project Assistant at 100 Tonson Foundation.

Vacharanont Sinvaravatn is included in “Warm Soil” at Vanguard Gallery Shanghai, alongside Santiago Mora.

Bringing together uninhabited yet captivating scenes, the exhibition considers landscape as a site of constant negotiation between human existence and the natural and material worlds. Across rural northeastern Thailand and the urban environments of Mexico, the paintings reveal landscapes in which the past persists quietly within the present.

The exhibition is curated by Li Qi will remain on view through 31 October.

Sīmā continues at the gallery until 3 October, 2026.

On view on the first floor is the exhibition’s largest piece, “The Shape of a Forest (2026)”. Refusing a singular vantage point, the painting offers neither clear depth nor hierarchy, instead drawing us into its still, encompassing vastness. We see an accumulation of trees, yet a forest is unmistakably present—a whole that gathers quietly. The work invites us to reconsider where one thing ends and another begins. The various natural elements depicted through this room continue to ask whether a landscape exists before or only through the relationships that compose it. When does a stone become a mountain, or does the mountain forever remain a gathering of stones?

Alongside his participation in the 2026 Busan Biennale, Moe Satt will also be featured in the Busan Biennale x Frieze Film Programme. Presented as part of Frieze Week Seoul, the programme will take place at SONGEUN Art and Cultural Foundation from 2–5 September 2026.

Conceived as a Seoul-based extension of the Biennale’s curatorial theme, Dissident Chorus, the programme brings together moving-image works that explore sound, voice, breath, rhythm, and bodily presence as modes of communication, healing, dissent, and shared experience.

Moving beyond film as a purely cinematic form, Busan Biennale x Frieze Film Seoul 2026 approaches the moving image as a resonant space in which different voices, histories, and communities can gather. The selected works extend the Biennale’s broader exploration of dissonance, plurality, and coexistence, forming a temporary “chorus” in Seoul during one of the most internationally visible moments in Korea’s cultural calendar.
