3 new galleries in Bangkok to check out this weekend
The latest additions to the Charoenkrung, Thong Lor and Silom art neighborhoods.
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
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, B01, Homeplace Bld., Thonglor 13, (Sukhumvit Soi 55), 089-117-3434. Tue - Sun: 10am-7pm. BTS Thong Lo.
