» A photography show on display at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre's Studio room on the fourth floor is anything but pictorial in the traditional sense.

» In many ways, "Condemned To Be Free", a duo exhibition which just opened last week at WTF Gallery, is in a constant state of flux. On the first floor, artist Kritsada Duchsadeevanich looks simultaneously at the transformation of his own political ideology and that of the country's political history. On the upper floor, painter Tawan Wattuya leaves out his watercolours and turns the gallery into an experimental space where the lines between art and activism, the authority of an artist and voice of ordinary people, are blurred.
