    Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 10/12/2015

    » In the painting The Treachery Of Images by surrealist René Magritte, there is the text, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe". But in a new performance by B-Floor's co-artistic director Jarunun Phantachat, she calls it Ceci N'est Pas La Politique (This Is Not Politics).

It's a fair where many have spent money on books they probably won't get to read in this lifetime.

    Bright and early

    Muse, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 14/12/2013

    » Chinese artist Yu Jordy Fu's career has literally been a shooting rocket, launched at a very young age. She held her first solo exhibition when she was six. At seven, a compilation book of her art was published. At 17, she was accepted by Central Saint Martin's College of Arts and Design in London even though she hadn't even finished high school. At 19, another book was published. At 22, she had her work exhibited at the Venice Biennale (she was the youngest participant, of course). At 26, she started her own design and architecture company.
