2015-Present I am running an ongoing project ‘Circus in Terminal 15’, a pop-up gallery & traveling
exhibitions with a barrier-breaking mission among self-taught and schooled artists, carrying out in

2. London and to be held in other parts of the UK. The exhibition was recently selected to take part in
Lyndons Arts Trust’s Summer Exhibition 2015(http://lyndonsartstrust.com/) at London Lighthouse
W11 1QT.
2010-present The ‘Uncooked Culture’ Network was founded by myself and have gained 127
international members, after 15 months, live and work across the globe. The Uncooked Culture had
been experimented in the UK with its interactive online community since the 26th of December 2010.
Uncooked Culture aims to support outsider-minded artists, untrained/self-taught artists, marginalized
artists, hidden artists, artists working outside the system and artists who feel rejected by the
system/under-represented artists by building up a sustainable and supportive community by its own
members. Uncooked Culture Community provide free opportunity to those artists to show their
artworks and profiles online by simple interactive tools on its external website for members who
signed up. It opens to Visual Artists in those situations, working on no limitation of mediums, from
painting, sculpture, installation, mixed media, time-based media, new media, and textile to textual art.

2012-2014 I initiated ‘Circus Terminal Worldwide’, an Ongoing International Exhibition/Collaborative
Touring Project. It had been held in 8 countries after its Launch at The Tabernacle in Notting Hill
London, then travelled the project/exhibition to SPAIN, FRANCE, THAILAND, AMERICA, HOLLAND,
NEW ZEALAND FRINGE FESTIVAL’14, SLOVENIA and SURINAME in South America. Our route
was formed through online collaboration, at Uncooked Culture Online Community, among artists who
experience academic art, Outsider artists - self-taught artists. Some participating artists have
undertaken the leading role as local curator/partner to host the project in their country across the
world while I am covering the project as ‘Circus Terminal - Worldwide’ curator who works closely with
all local lead artists and other collaborating artists. Everywhere the project was held, local artists were
invited to show their works in the exhibition and collaborated in community creative activities such as
workshops. After the exhibition in each city ended, local artists were encouraged to submit their works
to take part in the Next Stops in other scheduled countries. Over 400 artworks were travelled in a
suitcase and extra luggage along with the lead-artist/curator, Chutima Kerdpitak(Nok).

2011 I initiated and organized ‘What To Dip’ International Art-Environmental Exhibition/Collaborative
Project, Chiang Mai University Art Museum, Thailand (6-28 October 2011). It was an artist-run

3. exhibition using online facilities for its collaboration. It comprised of 3 accompanying events/activities,
‘Art & Environmental Talk’, ‘Artists’ Presentation’, ‘Performances’ held at Sangdee Gallery Chaing Mai
and 1 community event held at CMU Art Museum Chiang Mai. There were 9 participating artists
travelled from overseas to attend the activities.
The exhibition gained approximately 2,200 visitors throughout 22 days of exhibition, from the museum
administrator’s report. 95% from 200 visitors who signed in the Exhibition Guest Book gave positive
feedback. It received high interest and engagement from local Thai audiences and ex-pat lived and
worked in Chiang Mai Thailand. The project delivered opportunities to 36 artists-12 artists from the UK
and 24 artists from 10 other different countries across the world for their artistic professional
development, exposure and cultural exchange experience. The project also generated opportunities
to other 2 UK curators (Alice Cunningham and Katie Jade Hawker-Surface Arts:
www.surfacearts.co.uk) undertaken their role as curator and event organizer. The project also
received support from ‘Chiang Mai Creative City’, an initiative of an independent collaboration to
propose Chiang Mai as one of UNESCO’s ‘Creative City’, their Vice President was the Chair of our
Exhibition Opening Event.

2011 I curated ‘What To Dip’ International Collaborative Project-Thailand prelaunch with a group
exhibition of works from ‘What To Dip’ artists, and ‘Live Painting’ & ‘Live Music’ as a part of Uncooked
Culture Open Studio at Bow Arts Open, Bow Arts Trust London. It provided opportunities to ‘What To
Dip’ artists who based in UK and Europe to meet and share their work and ideas of the project among
themselves and the public.

2010 I was the Gihon River Collective Initiator with its first international collaborative project
‘COPY0909’ London. The collaboration had raised the fund ‘GRC Fellowship’ that offered one
fellowship award to a UK artist to attend The Vermont Studio Center (USA) Artist in Residency for 4
weeks without expenses.

2010 I initiated and co-curated the project called ‘COPY0909’ International Art Exhibition at an
abandon building at Chepstow Corner, Notting Hill, London (9 September-3 October), an artist-run
exhibition. I was one of the 3 Curators who initiated the Gihon River Collective group of 27

4. international visual artists and 6 writers who live/work overseas whom I met during my residency at
Vermont Studio Center USA, and initiated its project called “COPY0909”. It received approximately
1,600 visitors throughout 25 days exhibition with 5 additional events sharing the benefit and
experience from a Residency. It had gained well interaction and engagement in the exhibition by the
collective report from our participating artists who invigilated the exhibition. We also gained attentive
participants in our additional events which were supported by Westbourne Grove Church Art Space
and were held at their venue. The project brought together 7 UK-based international artists as
Supporting Artists who offer support on accommodations to overseas exhibitors during their stay in
London on the first week of the exhibition, setting up and taking down the exhibition and invigilating.
As a result, the project brings larger network among them and UK participants/audiences.

2009 I curated ‘If You Don’t Like The Way The Ship Is Run’ group exhibition and ‘Artist Talk’,
Islington Arts Factory, London. It was well attended by local community from the Opening throughout
the exhibition period. http://www.chutimakerdpitak-nok.com/#/london-art-exhibition/4533433001
2002 I curated the ‘Stew’ Visual and Performing Art Exhibition, of 24 international hidden artists from
other professions/ self-taught artists/professional artists from 11 different countries who lived and
worked in Thailand, The Drunken Flower Bar/Restaurant/Art hub, Chiang Mai, Thailand. The project
was the ‘talk of the town’ with over 300 participants at the Opening Night. It was recognized as
‘unusual’ for its ethos behind the project and for an art event to be held in an unconventional venue,
such as a bar, at that time in Thailand. More Information: http://www.chutimakerdpitak-
