» At Serindia Gallery, all is still and calm until you look closer and everything -- the landscapes, animals and plants -- suddenly comes to life. Magnifying glasses are of course provided.

» 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.

» In the not-so-distant future people may no longer be working in offices but instead will turn to alternative venues such as co-working spaces. This speculation is not hasty, considering it is the current vision of Charle Charoenphan, co-founder of one of Thailand's first co-working companies HUBBA. Since its launch in 2012, the business has thrived and Charle said in the past few years roughly 500 such spaces have sprung up across Thailand.

» 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.

» Chiang Mai has long been Bangkok's arch-rival when it comes to being the country's art hub -- the capital has the money and the galleries, while the northern city has the vibe and an increasing role as artists' preferred habitat. This Sunday, Chiang Mai will take a huge leap with the opening of MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum, a privately owned space by Jean Michel Beurdeley, his late wife Patsri Bunnag and their son Eric Bunnag Booth.
