The ephemeral aspect of this, along with 74 other artworks installed around Ratchaburi, featured in the first edition of the community-based "Art Normal" event.

Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 04/05/2016
» The massive space on the seventh floor of Bangkok Art and Culture Centre is now filled with a series of grainy and greyish photographs. Viewers should be warned that the experience there can be rather disorientating; not only are the photos random, they seem to have been arranged almost impulsively. Entitled "Omnivoyeur And Electrical Walks Bangkok", these photographs by Miti Ruangkritya only make up one part of the show, which is only complete when sounds by German sound artist Christina Kubisch are added.

Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 25/01/2017
» The room is red and hot, but nothing feels erotic about it. Eight naked models are featured in Tada Hengsapkul's latest photography show "The Things That Take Us Apart", yet it resulted not in a height of sexual tension but just a seemingly normal and civilised social gathering.

Bangkok is alive with the sound of music
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 01/04/2015
» Last year was a quiet for musicals in Bangkok. This year, however, we have already seen two musical productions, from a small adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion at Thonglor Art Space to the original Broadway musical Beauty And The Beast earlier this month. This week alone, there are two more productions, from veteran Yuthtana Lopanpaibul's Thai version of The Sound Of Music opening tomorrow at Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre, to, beginning on Saturday, a stage adaptation by Teravat Anuvatudom of the 2004 film Hom Rong (The Overture), the debut performance at KBank Siam Pic-Ganesha, Siam Square One.

Threading her way through Islam
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 08/09/2016
» The painting looks computerised, yet there are imperfections as if it was made by hand. Looking closely, the forms on the work seem abstract, yet from afar, they are clearly human figures kneeling down as if praying. Entitled Jamaah 2, an Arabic term loosely meaning the act of doing good in congregation with the community, the work is by Thidarat Chantachua, and it was the winner of the 2015 UOB Painting of the Year Award in the Established Artist Category.
