Artha Gallery
Artha is the latest gallery to take shelter near Charoen Krung art hub OP Garden, behind the French embassy. Founded by Pascal Billieres, it aims to promote the rising South East Asian art scene putting the focus on the new generation of Burmese, Thai and Vietnamese artists. Artha Gallery also promises to soon organise exhibitions throughout Europe, starting with Paris.
Artha Gallery, 5-7 Charoenkrung Soi 36, 02-630-9489. Tue–Sat 10.30am–7.00 pm (Sun by appointment). BTS Saphan Taskin. www.arthagallery.fr
Kult Gallery
If you have been to new breakfast spot Moko you would have noticed the gallery-like vibe. This is no accident, as one of the partners, Martine Pailloux, has in fact run a few art spaces in Bangkok and just recently introduced the new Kult Gallery on Pan Road with a wood sculpture series by Michael Deloffre.
Kult 64 Gallery, 64 Pan Rd., Silom, 02-235-6750. 10am-4pm, www.facebook.com/KultBangkok.
Tentacles
Founded by artist Heny Tan and friends, this new Thonglor art spot serves as a platform for contemporary art. As it's looking to facilitate innovative curatorial projects, you can expect lots of collaborations with guest curators. On show now is Little Three Some Flavors Dish by Vatcharapong Tungpongpiboon.
Tentacles, B01, Homeplace Bld., Thonglor 13, (Sukhumvit Soi 55), 089-117-3434. Tue - Sun: 10am-7pm. BTS Thong Lo.
