» On the surface, artist Apichatpong Weerasethakul's video of a night journey through a temple doesn't seem to be in dialogue with photographs of Sakhalin island by Japanese Tomoko Yoneda. Nor does there seem to be any connection between Field Recordings' video work documenting migrant workers on the banks of Shanghai's Huangpu River and MAP Office's incredibly detailed imaginary map of "future Hong Kong".

» A new exhibition “[-]1: ‘The Great Artist Of Tomorrow Will Go Underground’ — Marcel Duchamp” at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre doesn’t look like it’s ready for public viewing yet. At the opening reception last Friday, some space at the seventh floor gallery was still empty. In some corners, random objects such as tables, wooden panels, a fan and a fishing rod were lying about. I went back again on Sunday only to find a few artists sitting around, as if trying to “start” work on something. They looked almost as lost as I did.
