A Monthly column rounding up the best of the capital’s arts scene
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 23/07/2014
» Could it be the result of a curatorial conspiracy, the fact that three exhibitions currently underway at different locations across town have chosen to focus on the dark side, on human body parts, on decay and death (by foul means and fair)?

A happy ending?

» I saw this at Siam BTS station. It was around noon, though it doesn’t really matter what time it was (and perhaps the present tense is more apt for narration).

Creative dialogue
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 16/07/2014
» It’s either very enticing or discouraging to viewers when curator Andrew Stahl says that his new exhibition “illustrates nothing” and that “we expect an electric conversation with excitement and perhaps even failure”. The show is called “Monologue Dialogue 3: Fragility And Monumentality”, currently on display on the ninth floor of Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, and the works from various artists shown together are just as overwhelming as the exhibition’s title itself.

Show and tell
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 14/08/2014
» Silpathorn Award-winning artist Sineenadh Keitprai's latest work is about women's bodies, especially the breasts. Entitled Ngao-Rang (Shade Borders), the show doesn't treat the subject in a sensual sense; instead it seeks to tell stories, express feelings and recall memories behind the female form.

The Physicists defies gravity
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 05/06/2014
» Nothing about The Physicists seemed promising. The play, an adaptation of Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s Die Physiker, was staged at GOJA Gallery Café in Phra Kanong and finished its run last Monday. There is an obvious reason for it not being staged in a proper theatre — the place is but a small two-block gallery where actors ran outside when they finished their parts while those who were yet to come out were hiding in a tiny bathroom. The light and sound control team took over the barista’s area. Seats for the audience were awkwardly arranged around the room as leaning on the wall was not advised after some art on display fell and one of the audience members had to pay for it. All this, personally, didn’t bode well for either the quality or the seriousness of the production. But I was quite wrong.

» Pongsuang Kunprasob’s debut exhibition at WTF Gallery, “Ungrateful Records”, reviews episodes from his past, some of them through a prism of nostalgia, regret or both. All the paintings on display here touch on relationships he had with various people in his life.

No elephant, But artists, In the room
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 08/05/2014
» ''‘The Other Room: Exploring The Other’s Life”, an art party in which more than 20 artists gathered last weekend, was set in an abandoned guest house slated for imminent demolition (although it will be rebuilt as Thong Lor Art Space). “The Other Room”, produced by Democrazy Theatre Studio, invited artists to make use of the space as is now, turning each room into a creative cocoon.

The clock now starts
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 01/05/2014
» What should we expect from a theatre production that was conceived, written and staged within 24 hours? What can we anticipate from a work of art of any kind that’s created over a short time, instead of weeks or months or years of contemplation and hard work?

Tongue-tied about Thai politics
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 21/05/2014
» Now is definitely not the best time for us Thais to be travelling abroad, especially if we have to engage in conversations with foreigners about the political situation here. Last weekend, I was on a media trip with a group of reporters from Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines and we had to meet up with quite a few people from Europe.
