Born in Lop Buri, Thailand, in 1964, Kamin lives and works in Chiang Mai. He has worked in a variety of media including painting, installation, printmaking and sculpture. After graduating from Silpakorn University in Bangkok in 1987, Kamin moved to New York where he attended The Art Student League of New York until 1992. In 1998, he and fellow artist Rirkrit Tiravanija co-founded The Land Foundation, an initiative that converted an area of rice fields into a site for creative projects and art residencies. His interest in collaborative work led him to eventually establish his own institution, The 31st Century Museum of Contemporary Spirit in 2008.
