Share As the month of June arrives in Bangkok it brings with it the hope that things are (fingers crossed) slowly returning to normal. This is especially good news for gallery goers who haven’t had much to lift their spirits during the recent lockdown period. Hero image: Image from Eugenio Recuenco’s 365° photography installation The month of May, in 2021, will be remembered, in part, for its strict lockdown regulations, all part of Thailand’s ongoing attempt to deal with the Covid-19 global pandemic fallout. Many businesses in Bangkok were affected by the enforced closures, although some galleries in the city remained open, with by-appointment-only visits that followed strict masking and social distancing protocols. Thankfully, as things appear to be a bit more under control, more galleries will be opening their doors to visitors, and the line-up for June (and beyond) promises some very worthwhile shows; including a major international photography exhibition making a stop here in town as part of its world tour. Be advised though to double check in advance about opening hours and visiting requirements.

Myanmar: History Makes Art, And That Art Will Make History December 28, 2020 Walking toward Yangon’s art galleries the majestic colonial buildings line the streets. Some have been converted into luxury hotels a sign of Myanmar’s renewal. Yet most have been left untouched since British rule. Faded green paint peeling off the walls over markets that are filled with fruit as bright as traditional women’s clothing. “Myanmar has a long history filled with rich cultural traditions, that’s reflected in a distinctive emerging art movement,” said Gill Pattison, River Gallery. The nation is evolving from a turbulent history into a vibrant democracy that has given a new voice to talented local artists. “Art currently reflects an intense transition in Myanmar,” said Nathalie Johnston, Myanm/Art. “With pillars of religion and history.”
