Kedsuda Loogthong is a contemporary Thai artist known for transforming everyday objects into contemplative works of art. Across her practice, she has replicated familiar household items — cereal boxes, old books, calendar pages — rendering them as enduring artefacts rather than disposable things. This act of preservation speaks to her interest in memory, belief, and the subtle rituals of daily life. Broken Almanac No. 1 comprises fifteen small canvases, each hand-painted to resemble a page from a Chinese-Thai lunar calendar. Commonly seen in kitchens and shop-houses, such calendars are not only practical but also guide decisions about luck, rituals, and auspicious days. Loogthong reproduces their bold red and black numbers with meticulous care, yet fragments the sequence: dates are missing, continuity is disrupted. What appears functional becomes “broken” – an almanac that cannot be used, only contemplated.By freezing this cycle of days in paint, Loogthong invites us to reflect on time as lived rather than measured. Each panel is a memorial of a day already passed, its usual disposability turned into permanence. The work gently destabilises the authority of calendrical systems: instead of certainty, we find impermanence and memory. For Loogthong, the project connects personal heritage with broader cultural systems. The Chinese-Thai calendar, with its hybrid mix of astrology and ritual, embodies the everyday negotiation of tradition in modern life. Here, she reframes that negotiation as art — quietly poetic, modest in scale, yet conceptually rich. In the context of Southeast Asian contemporary art, Broken Almanac No. 1 resonates with global practices of time-based conceptualism, while remaining rooted in Thai domestic culture. It is an intimate meditation on repetition, belief, and the fragile construction of time itself.
