A Verse on Uncomposed Surface: A Gathering of Becoming Stories exhibition is part of LONGTRUK Grant for the Art Project 2020, organized by Baan Noorg Collaborative Arts & Culture in collaboration with Art Centre Silpakorn University, Blackout Collective and JITR Collective, officially supported by Ministry of Culture Republic of China (Taiwan) and Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand. The project open-call emerging artists with a trans-disciplinary background between art, theory & diverse sciences with the aim to boost professional artistic experience, support exhibition space and art projects outside the capital. Selected artists have developed interdisciplinary research based art projects in which content and process are connected with people, communities and society, and collaborated with the project's curatorial program including receiving advice from Professional Taiwanese Artists through online conferences. In response to the  COVID-19 situation, as part of the art and cultural sector, the project operates the online platform of dialogue exchange between visual artists across boundaries as well as maintaining the connection with the other whole. This phenomenon shows the possibilities of new production and also other forms of accessibility to art, and furthermore, this might be reestablishment of the world of art on a subscale [Manuel Borja-Villel, 2020].

In the Curating Methodology, the project focuses on raising questions about how to live with history and asking for the feasibility of social character and visual arts contexts open to the diverse identities of society. To live with history is to pose the question of how to live with the past. What tone of voice do we adopt in relation to history, especially in situations or specific conditions where differences are polarized? The middle point where the three artists in the project stood and played is to delve into the surface of the grand narratives that appear which have been bleached by the mainstream history cover and project only the shape of the discourse. Each artist came up with a method to uncover, delve, and retrieve the narrative that are embedded in them, spread and build again through visual arts media working with interdisciplinary arts. The results that come out are not all-round answers but open-ended for those stories to leave with breathing space, carry on to the issues raised and lead to a wider criticism.
