To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the arrival of Corrado Feroci, or Prof Silpa Bhirasri, in the Kingdom of Siam, the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) in collaboration with the Bhirasri Institute of Modern Art Foundation and Silpakorn University has organised the exhibition "Art-Thai-Time".
Silpa Bhirasri played a prominent role in the development of Thai modern art. Besides his state-commissioned sculptural works of important monuments throughout Bangkok, his cultural vision was far-reaching, resulting in the initiation of various institutions that have kept his dreams alive. Among these are the Bhirasri Institute of Modern Art (BIMA), Thailand's first public art gallery, and the School of Fine Arts which later became Silpakorn University.
