Out&About

Honouring the Supreme Artist
As part of the celebrations marking the 235th Anniversary of Ratttanakosin, the Fine Arts Department is hosting an exhibition of the late King Bhumibol’s paintings in photographic form at the National Gallery on Chao Fah Road.
On display are images of 30 paintings including portraits of the Queen and other Royal Family members, semi abstracts and landscapes. The original paintings were displayed at the gallery in 2006 on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the late Monarch’s accession to the throne. The gallery was granted permission to photograph the paintings and print them for educational purposes in such a way as to honour the artistic talent of the late King Bhumibol as the Supreme Artist. 
The show runs through April 30. The gallery is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 9am to 4pm. For more information call (02) 281 2224.

Capitalism and consumerism
Nipon Intarit reflects on the impacts of consumerism on society in his new photographic exhibition “Black Moon” showing at Bridge Art Space on Charoen Krung Soi 51 until April 30.
Explaining his subject matter, the notes that “capitalism has been “reinvented” several times under different forms of government, and in different eras. Humans are not alienated nor do they exist apart from history, thus it is the capitalism that works through the body and unconscious mind – from the inside.
Bridge Art Space is open Wednesday to Monday from 10am-10pm.
