In search of big ideas
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 18/01/2018
» BangkokEdge Festival, billed as an "idea festival", returns to its old quarters of Bangkok this weekend. Spearheaded by MR Narisa Chakrabongse, the two-day event is a vibrant smorgasbord of literature, music, art, history and politics, anchored in the charming venues of Museum Siam, Chakrabongse Villas and Rajini School. There will be talks -- plenty of panels and discussions, on subjects ranging from "What Makes The Chao Phraya A World Monument?" to "The Power Of Slam Poetry", from "Populism, Religion and Neo-Nationalism In The 21st Century" to "Years Of Living Dangerously: A Woman's Take On War". The list of participants is starry, including writers, journalists, poets, historians and artists, Thai and international. Come evening, the lawn of Museum Siam will play host to film screenings (Pop Aye on Saturday and Citizen Dog on Sunday), as well as concerts by Hugo, Yena, Rasmee Isan Soul and more.

The art of war
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 21/02/2014
» The best and wittiest joke about the relationship between art and World War II — a strange and imaginary relationship — is in a short story by Roberto Bolano. In it, a Spanish soldier had been sent by mistake to an SS battalion that was later quashed by a Russian troop. Suspected of being a Nazi, the Spaniard was captured and tortured by having his tongue pulled, and in the throes of pain, he cursed in his language cono!, an equivalent of the c-word expletive in English. The Russian torturer, who knew a few German words, stopped in his track. He thought the soldier, whose pronunciation was twisted because his tongue was being pulled, was yelling kunst, kunst, kunst — meaning art in German. Cono became kunst, and the Russian assumed that the Spaniard wasn’t SS but an artist. He was set free. In the midst of war, art, “which soothes the savage beast”, saved his life.
