Spiritual journeys on Bangkok's BTS
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 12/05/2017
» Those familiar with the contemporary art circles of Thailand will know that Kamin Lertchaiprasert's name carries immense respect. The Silpakorn University graduate and former student of The Art Student League of New York has spent most of his career developing a deep interest in religion and philosophy. Previously known for co-founding The Land Foundation that turned rice fields into spaces for site-specific art and architectural projects, as well as a number of international solo exhibitions, Kamin will now, potentially, be known for something even more soul awakening. He is currently crowdfunding a pioneering art project that will give Bangkok its first ever city-wide mobile installation. The campaign, "Universal Connections" is set to wrap an entire BTS train, inside and out, with pieces of art composed of "spiritual fractals". We sat down with the talented artist to find out more about this exciting project. If you're interested in seeing this ground-breaking project made possible — come on, won't you be glad to say good riddance to all that flashy corporate advertising we're bombarded with on a daily basis? — be sure to make your contribution to "Universal Connections" via the crowdfunding platform asiola.co.th.

Rhyme like a river flows
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 30/06/2017
» A few moons ago, we ran a cover story on rappers based in Bangkok and beyond, province-wise. Although we were happy with the story, we felt like there was one part of the rapper's tale that was left out. The missing piece goes by the name of Maiyarap (Nakalin Jalunvitaya). He's in a band called River Rhyme, which consists of him and his two friends from back home in Nakhon Sawan; their friendship goes way back apparently. He's just come out with yet another single which we will go into a bit later and surprisingly, he just did a rap-based commercial with the anti-dandruff shampoo brand, CLEAR (to watch, visit goo.gl/x7QGZz). Funny where the world of rhyming can take you huh? Take it from us, here is a truly talented artist whose Thai lyrics are like medicine to the ears and pure poetry for the soul. He's raking in fans from all over and has a pretty busy schedule as far as touring goes, (Follow his page, fb.com/realmaiyarap to stay in the loop) so you can understand why we couldn't get hold of him before. But, Guru finally managed to physically sit down with this young artist from Nakhon Sawan to delve deeper into his art form and more importantly, his raison d'etre. Read on brothers and sisters!

Halloween in Hong Kong
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 07/10/2016
» Alright, October is upon us. It's time to drop the H word. H... well hell, a month ago we would have hated saying it! Truth is, we were never really the biggest fans of the tooth decaying celebration Americans call Halloween. And let's be honest, these days, the majority don't dress up in the true spirit of the occasion; it's blatantly become more about how many people you can impress with that rocking hot bod. Come on, admit it. You can't lie to Guru.
