Life, Thana Boonlert, Published on 09/07/2025
» Singaporean artist Heman Chong is a bricoleur. He does not care about the purity of a system and uses materials at hand for creation without regard to their original purpose. It comes as no surprise then his solo exhibition's title declares such provisionality -- "This Is A Dynamic List And May Never Be Able To Satisfy Particular Standards For Completeness."

Life, Suwitcha Chaiyong, Published on 14/08/2024
» Zhang Zhanzhan, a Chinese contemporary artist, recently held his inaugural solo exhibition "Beyond The Last Miles" in Bangkok. The exhibition is described as a journey of life which is often solitary and stretches endlessly. As people walk alone, they learn to find contentment in their solitude, their character strengthens, but their hearts become soft and sincere. Through his art, Zhang captures fleeting moments within the river of time, encapsulating warmth, hope and resilience that allows viewers to get to know their former selves.

» In the southwest of Phnom Penh lies the region's largest surviving rainforest. After landing, I met other travel companions to spend three nights together at a riverside camp. We were split into two vans and headed for Sihanoukville. Downtown shophouses and heavy traffic gave way to lush scenery.

In more or less two hours, we arrived at the camp depot.

Televised live and watched by 600 million people, their walk lasted just over two hours. Yet their achievements left a defining footprint on the history of space exploration.
An imperfect world

» Even on the ground at the Cannes Film Festival, what people seemed to be anticipating most on Monday was, well, the final episode of Game Of Thrones. No, it wasn't being shown at the festival (how unbecoming that would be), but isn't it a sign of our times that a TV episode has the Valyrian-steel nerve to dominate global discussion and upstage the world's biggest film showcase?
