DESIGNED TO LOSE When the world is designed for some people to always win.

# InsomniaInExhibition

If the game we were playing was designed for us to "lose from the beginning," would we still believe it was a fair match?

"DESIGNED TO LOSE: AN UNFAIR GAME" When the world is designed for some people to always win and some people will never start a game by Nong Jung Dharshoti.

Nong Jung Thamshoti, also known as "Bottle, Selling Laughs," is an artist and political cartoonist who has been working on social satire for more than 30 years. His work is characterized by a simple, accessible, but sharply hidden criticism of power and disparity. The fun-looking lines act like a mask of truth.

The exhibition is inspired by the Animal Farm literature, which uses the animal world as an image instead of human power structures. Artists question systems that seem like rules, but may indeed be designed to give certain groups an advantage. In this series of works, "Pig" conveys the authority, the controller of the game. While "Duck" represents people struggling under the same system, colorful images and cute characters thus become areas that hide questions to the justice of contemporary society.

Artists convey a world that seems entertaining and full of cute characters, but inside it hides, symbols of compression, unequal competition, and power structures tilted to one side, objects like money, bananas, machines, or tools are used as representations of the capital, power, and economic systems that nourish those structures, while many characters are laid out in seemingly struggling conditions or pushed out of the center of power.

"DESIGNED TO LOSE: AN UNFAIR GAME" invites the audience to question the world we live in, a world that can sometimes be created from unequal rules and made to seem normal. When we walk out of the exhibition area, the question that survives may not be just about art, but the question that reflects back to our real lives. In the games we play every day, we are players, spectators, or just mak figures in the game that was designed from the beginning.

... Read moreประสบการณ์การเข้าชมนิทรรศการ “DESIGNED TO LOSE : AN UNFAIR GAME” ทำให้ผมได้ทบทวนแนวคิดเรื่องความยุติธรรมในสังคมสมัยใหม่อย่างลึกซึ้งมากขึ้น เพราะงานศิลปะชุดนี้ไม่ได้แค่สวยงามด้วยลายเส้นการ์ตูนสีสันสดใสที่ดูน่ารัก แต่กลับซ่อนชั้นเชิงการวิพากษ์สภาพสังคมที่มีทั้งความเหลื่อมล้ำและความไม่เสมอภาคไว้เหมือนหน้ากากที่ดูสนุกสนาน สิ่งที่ผมประทับใจคือการนำสัญลักษณ์สัตว์อย่าง “หมู” ที่แทนอำนาจผู้มีสิทธิสูงสุดและ “เป็ด” ที่เป็นตัวแทนของประชาชนผู้ถูกกดขี่ มาสร้างเป็นภาพเล่าเรื่องที่เข้าใจง่าย แต่กลับท้าทายความคิดต่อเรื่องอำนาจ ทุน และระบบเศรษฐกิจที่คอยหนุนเสริมให้โครงสร้างนี้ยังคงอยู่ ความหมายของวัตถุที่ปรากฏในภาพ ไม่ว่าจะเป็นเงิน กล้วย หรือเครื่องจักรล้วนสื่อสารถึงความไม่เท่าเทียมและมาตรการซ่อนเร้นที่ทำให้ผู้เล่นบางส่วนในเกมชีวิตนี้ไม่มีทางชนะได้ตั้งแต่ต้น นิทรรศการนี้เหมาะสำหรับผู้คนที่อยากเห็นภาพสะท้อนความจริงของโลกที่เราเป็นส่วนหนึ่ง และตั้งคำถามว่าตัวเราในเกมชีวิตนี้คือผู้เล่นที่แท้จริง หรือแค่ตัวหมากที่ถูกกำหนดไว้แล้ว ทั้งยังเปิดโอกาสให้ผู้ชมมีบทบาทคิดและแลกเปลี่ยนความคิดเห็นเกี่ยวกับระบบสังคมที่ดูเหมือนแข่งขันอย่างยุติธรรม แต่จริง ๆ แล้วถูกออกแบบมาไม่เป็นธรรมอย่างลึกซึ้ง ผมแนะนำให้ไปเยี่ยมชมที่ Joyman Gallery ซึ่งตั้งอยู่ใจกลางกรุงเทพฯ การเดินทางสะดวก มีที่จอดรถใกล้วัดเทพธิดารามและวัดราชนัดดา ตัวนิทรรศการเปิดทุกวันอังคารถึงอาทิตย์ เวลา 11.00-18.00 น. และเข้าชมฟรี สถานที่แห่งนี้จึงเป็นอีกหนึ่งแหล่งเรียนรู้และสร้างแรงบันดาลใจให้กับทุกคนที่สนใจ ท้ายที่สุด งานศิลปะยุคนี้ไม่เพียงแต่เป็นเพียงการสื่อสารความงาม แต่ยังเป็นพื้นที่ที่เราจะตั้งคำถามและท้าทายโลกที่เราอาศัยอยู่ได้อย่างทรงพลังจริง ๆ
