Step Into The Bootleg Show by Thai-Hong Kong Artist Mrkreme

by: The Beat Asia

May 21, 2025

by: The Beat Asia

Step into the quirky world of 'The Bootleg Show “An Exploration of Originals and Alterations," a mind-bending solo exhibition by Thai-Hong Kong artist Mrkreme, now running at MOCA Bangkok until June 29, 2025.

This is not your typical art show. Driven by the question, "What does it mean to be original?" get ready to be immersed in an interactive experience that'll spark ideas on imperfection, reinterpretation, and transformation — core themes of the show.

The adventure kicks off with a massive furry monster Mushkin, standing 30 mushrooms tall (measured by MOCA), welcoming you into a world where the bizarre reigns supreme. Mushkin is the star of this show – a whimsical art toy concept gone wonderfully awry. What started as a simple prototype that went wrong morphed into a deeper examination of originality.

But that’s just the beginning, each room holds more surprises in Mrkreme’s signature pop-surrealist style. Mrkreme uses clay in his works, the very material that sparked his art toy journey, alongside trippy acrylic paintings, to bring his vision to life.

paintings — Facebook/MOCA Museum of Contemporary Art

The fun, interactive elements of the exhibition make it a must-visit. Mrkreme challenges you to become a co-creator by sketching Mushkin from memory. Your drawings will then be reimagined and transformed into new artworks in a fusion of paintings, sculptures, and even video installations.

Get lost in the weirdness and let your creativity flow at the one-of-a-kind "The Bootleg Show."

Adult tickets are priced at THB180, Students (with ID) at THB100, and there is free entry for kids under 100 cm. You can purchase these tickets here.

For more information, visit MOCA BANGKOK on their website, Instagram, and Facebook.

Location: Atrium and Temporary Exhibition Rooms 1, 2, and 3 (G Floor), MOCA BANGKOK, 499 Kamphaengphet 6 Road, Ladyao, Chatuchak

Opening Hours: Tuesdays to Sundays, from 10 AM to 6 PM (Closed on Mondays)
