Nova Contemporary is proud to announce the representation of Pam Virada.
Pam Virada (b. 1993, Bangkok, Thailand; lives and works in Amsterdam) explores intersections between the cinematic and temporal, navigating the ghostly forces and intimate stories within domestic spheres. Through mixed-media installations and moving images, she reconfigures existing contexts and narratives, investigating the themes of impermanence and intimate turmoil. Virada conducts continuous socio-political and micro-narrative research, investigating the Sino-Thai diaspora and beyond. She looks towards feminist memory within family constellations, studying the junctures of Hauntology, patriarchy, and non-western philosophy. Her works dive into intangible presences of the ghostly and ancestral, proving their uncanny yet comforting influence on the conscious and subconscious.
Virada has exhibited works at the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art, Washington DC; Tokyo Photographic Art Museum; Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC); and Aranya Art Center, Qinhuangdao. She completed her BA in Communication Design at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, and her MA in Interior Architecture at Sandberg Institute, Amsterdam. A solo presentation of her works with the gallery will be announced in early 2024.
