Yearning for lost dreams

» With shots of a shocking eyesore of a pink sofa, a rundown back room in what appears to be a cheap bar, and a group of scantily-clad young women under gaudy neon lights, British-Thai photographer Cattleya Jaruthavee infuses Kathmandu Photo Gallery with a sense of lost youth and impossible yearnings in her solo exhibition "Paused Dreams".

Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 24/06/2015
» From pixelated photographs, to paintings on photographic paper and sculptures carved into wooden chopping boards, this month's art scene is a delightful experience — even the mediums just mentioned themselves have much to say.

The joke that isn't funny anymore
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 08/07/2015
» For quite a while I had managed to completely wipe Gen Prayut out of my mind. By turning off the familiar tune Return Happiness To Thailand as soon as it comes on, by ignoring the latest absurdities shared on Facebook and by not engaging in a conversation criticising our dear leader and the NCPO, it was a state of blissful apathy.

From stuffed rats to geometric abstraction
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 08/07/2015

Sooner or later, it's game over
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 20/02/2015
» Last week I was invited to join a panel on the topic "Why Criticism?", at Speedy Grandma, a small gallery in Charoen Krung. Along with a university literature lecturer and a film critic, I was invited as an arts and theatre critic. Before agreeing to participate, I insisted to the organisers that I'm not a critic, and it's unlikely that I will consider myself one anytime soon.

From the past, into the future
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 10/02/2015
» There are three versions of Korakrit Arunanondchai, one of Thailand's hottest mavericks whose works have been shown internationally in recent years: first, Korakrit in person, who isn't the most comprehensible of talkers; second, the Korakrit he professes himself to be, which is a jeans-clad, fiery-haired, spontaneous painter and gangster/rapper performance artist.

Trainwreck from top to bottom
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 03/03/2015
» Perhaps what one remembers best about a third-class train ride in Thailand is the shower you take afterwards — the lumps of dust coming out of your nose, the grimy water running off your body and how washing your hair three times isn't enough to take the odour of metal away.
