» The word "minimalism" nowadays is rarely associated with the groundbreaking art movement of the early 1960s, which eventually reshaped the art world, pop-culture and people's way of living. Today, it's mostly associated with architecture, interior design and the fast-growing movement of living a decluttered, material-free life.

In fact, the photographer and curator had unearthed seven master Thai photographers of the past several decades, nearly forgotten and lost through time, and revived them for contemporary viewers through several shows at his Kathmandu Photo Gallery since early 2010s.

» Chulayarnnon Siriphol's solo exhibition is absurdly meta.

» Hung on the 4th and 5th floors of the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre are familiar photographs of Buddhist statues, stunning ancient pagodas, and people and monks absorbed in prayer. The photos, taken by veteran Italian photographer Andrea Pistolesi are highly dramatic -- sometimes overly so, with high dynamic range effects, high contrast, and interesting textures superimposed on top.
