本篇文章是一些我對MOCA BANGKOK的想法雜談，將談及這間博物館的空間設計、採光和一些很酷的藝術作品。
In this article, I’ll discuss some random thoughts about MOCA BANGKOK, including the museum design, lighting, and some interesting art pieces.
Ⅰ 視覺語言的連貫性 Coherence
MOCA BANGKOK的博物館空間設計相當出色，可以觀察到博物館空間是如何透過幾何的三角形變化，從戶外到室內運用不同材質、大小和形狀的三角形，產生整體連貫性。
The museum’s spatial design is exceptional. Triangles are used in a variety of materials, sizes, and shapes to connect exterior and interior designs and achieve consistency.
大量的三角形窗戶分布在牆面和天花板，當陽光透過三角窗沿著牆面流瀉而下的光影時，為白牆增添了些藝術性，設計的相當流暢、優雅及新穎。
There are numerous triangle windows on the walls and ceiling. When sunlight penetrates through the windows, it paints aesthetically pleasing shadows on the white walls. The design is flowing, elegant, and fresh.
禮品店的展台設計也延續了幾何造型，最特別的是門面的牆利用有角度的透明玻璃片創造出三角形，背牆應該是霧面玻璃，可以發現在金屬材質、玻璃和燈光的搭配下，整體商店相當現代、高雅和獨特。我也很喜歡招牌字體的幾何摺紙感，非常有科技感。
The MOCA STORE booth design extends with geometric elements. The most distinctive part is the use of transparent glass panels for decorating the storefront, while the back wall is matte glass. The store’s combination of metal components, glass, and lighting creates a modern, stylish, and individual feeling. I particularly in love with the geometric origami-style font on the sign, adding a high-tech aesthetic.
可以看到禮品店的光就是打偏暖調。
You might note that the lighting in the gift shop is warm.
Ⅱ大膽的展牆顏色 Bold wall colors
每個展間的調性不太一樣，讓我驚艷的是牆面使用大面積的大紅色和黑色作為基調，但意外的很適合這些很魔幻的藝術收藏，凸出作品的張力。
Each gallery has a different tone. What impressed me was the large portions of vibrant red and black on walls as base colors. Surprisingly, this approach complements the fantastic art collections brilliantly, highlighting their tension.
這些畫作真的很特別，仔細看會發現很多細節，我跟弟討論裡面可能在講的故事。不是什麼學術討論，存粹自己亂編來自娛，講累了看累了就坐一下。裡頭真的很大有五層樓，很適合空出一天都泡在藝術品中，悠閒的晃晃。
These artworks are truly unique, and upon closer inspection, you can see more details. My brother and I discussed the stories that might be behind them. It’s not an academic discussion; it’s just making up stories for fun. When we got tired, we rested on chairs. The museum is huge, with five floors, making it perfect to spend an entire day immersed in the art and casually wandering around.
純白色的展間也是很美，因為展場空間很大且參觀人數不多，所以可以很自在的移動，對於攝影愛好者來說也很友善。參觀起來真的很輕鬆愉快，我猜這裡面的走道大小可能是北美館的1倍。
The all-white display area is also stunning. Because the space is large and there are few visitors, it is easy to move around. It’s also ideal for photography enthusiasts. Visiting the place is both peaceful and enjoyable. I’d assume that the hallways here are roughly twice the size of those of the Taipei Fine Art Museum.
下圖是穿越宇宙展間，位於四樓。
穿過隧道後會來到一個巨大展間，有三幅大圖講述三個王國，天堂、地球和地獄，畫作相當震撼，由三個泰國藝術家完成。
The highlight of 4th floor is the three gigantic contemporary paintings rendering the The Three Kingdoms (including Heaven, Middle Earth, and Hell) by three artists: Sompop Budtarad, Panya Vijinthanasarn, and Prateep Kochabua.
Ⅲ奇特的椅子設計 Bizzard Chairs Design
MOCA BANGKOK對於參觀者相當的友善，在各個展間都放置了造型很獨特的椅子。我從來沒看過有人這樣設計椅子，所以特別多拍了幾張。
MOCA Bangkok is particularly visitor-friendly, with individually designed chairs situated in each exhibition area. I’d never seen chairs made like these before, so I snapped a lot of extra photos of them.
Ⅳ獨特的收藏 Unique collection
特別紀錄了面具收藏跟皮影戲收藏的展間，這兩個展間與奇美博物館的常設展似曾相似。
The exhibition spaces for the mask and shadow puppet collections caught my attention immediately. The two display rooms seemed similar to permanent exhibits at the Chimei Museum.
Ⅴ一些酷藝術品 Some interesting art pieces
Ⅵ結語 Conclusion
結果文章寫一寫變成長文，但MOCA BANGKOK真的有太多值得分享的內容。下次安排再去的話會是一整天，這次是早上逛洽圖洽市集，下午才是MOCA，這樣逛起來其實挺疲憊的。不過我很慶幸自己有帶相機，好好的紀錄了參觀過程，也才有這篇文章的誕生。
The article developed into a lengthy piece, but there is so much to share about MOCA BANGKOK. Next time, I plan to spend the entire day there. This time, I went to Chatuchak Weekend Market in the morning and then MOCA in the afternoon, which turned out to be quite exhausting. However, I’m glad I brought my camera and thoroughly documented the visit, as that is why this article exists.
從MOCA BANGKOK可以發現泰國對當代藝術的態度，非常有自己國家的風格，打破我對泰國藝術設計的刻板印象，讓我對一個博物館可以如何展示和設計有更多的想像。也讓我反思台灣的博物館和美術館應該要如何精進，才能更加國際化、在地化。
MOCA Bangkok displays Thailand’s individual perspective on modern art, demolishing my previous misconceptions about Thai art and design. It gave me more ideas of how a museum might present and design exhibitions. It also makes me think about how museums and art galleries in Taiwan should improve to become more international and locally relevant.
