» Chiang Mai got its fill last weekend, and now it's time for the Bangkok edition of Galleries' Night, organised by the French embassy. First of all, it just amazes you how active the scene is. Running on Friday and Saturday, there will be more than 40 galleries participating in the event where venues open late into the night.
It's a whitewash!

» 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.
Picture the words

» The award for best art exhibition opening reception this month goes to café/gallery Counting Sheep Corner on Sukhumvit 61 with Thomas Carrigan's paintings.

» This month's Art Matters begins with rather worrying news for H Gallery. After a visit to a photography show by Kornkrit Jianpinidnan, which just opened last Saturday at Bangkok Citycity Gallery, one fact hit me hard: Tam, H Gallery's dog in residency, may not be the only contender for the cutest canine in the capital's art scene.
Paper-thin memories

» Chath PierSath’s installation of works on paper, “Four Countries”, is an exhibition that balances narration with abstraction. Spread out along columns laid out on the floor allows viewers to browse them in a rather unorthodox method while walking around H Project Space. Some pieces are rough drawings and paintings of random faces, while others, made up from paint and clipped pieces of paper from newspapers and magazines, seem like the fragments of memories, thoughts and emotions of the artist.
