» Like most other entertainment and cultural events, artist Sina Wittayawiroj's solo exhibition "Beat Around The Bush" at Bridge Art Space was cancelled last month due to the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. It was not the right time, Sina said, because this is a sensitive time and his set of multidisciplinary works attempt to speak about a certain chapter in history, which has remained a taboo.

» Curated by Prapon Kumjim, YenakArt Villa presents "Absolutely Unsure", a multidisciplinary art exhibition by six emerging artists who are Bangkok University alumni which explores a range of issues, from the grand narrative ideals of Thainess, the awkward generation gap to the notions of gender and individuality.

» Art Matters this month begins with words of congratulations to Speedy Grandma which just celebrated its fourth anniversary this past weekend. After closing down for several months because, according to co-founder Lee Anantawat, "we were just bored and tired", the gallery in Charoen Krung 28 is now back and it's just, well, as fun and slightly dingy as before.

» If "Fear" -- Manit Sriwanichapoom's latest photography and video show, which opened over the past weekend at H Gallery, Tang Contemporary Art and Kathmandu Photo Gallery (and at Yavuz Gallery in Singapore at the end of the month) -- isn't the hottest topic of discussion in the capital's art scene already, it soon will be.
A circle of abstraction

» Currently standing at the centre of Gallery Ver is one half of a table tennis table folded up, and it has come to embody the essence of the artist Udomsak Krisanamis's latest solo show "Paint It Black". On it are layers of gauze and circling strokes of black paint, plus a wasp's nest. The insect's lodge wasn't the artist's plan but he kept it anyway.

» Over the past weekend, it appears that practically every familiar face made it to Hotel Art Fair, a fair wherein hotel rooms, showers and toilets duly ceased to function temporarily to showcase art. Just like how the same crowd made it the week before to the opening of Bangkok Citycity Gallery's hit show by director Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit, and just like they will this weekend head to MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum's inaugural show "The Serenity Of Madness" in Chiang Mai, the first retrospective of Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

» Bangkok-based Japanese artist Soichiro Shimizu's latest exhibition, "Re-Looks", is a re-look both at his own art practice and at fellow artists he admires. Currently displayed in the elegant, well-lit YenarkArt Villa is a series of photographs which appear to have gone through practically almost every Photoshop function -- cropped, stretched, resized and collaged -- to the point of total abstraction.
