Koktail Curated: November 3-9

A list of curated events in and around Bangkok to help you plan your week

If you’re still feeling Halloweeny, the good news is: so is Bangkok. Whether it’s the triennial art installation Ghost or a confinement-themed art exhibition by Karms, here are our picks of what to see and do this week.

1/5 Ghost 2565: Live Without Dead Time

Ghost 2565: Live Without Dead Time aims to mirror the ghosts that haunt our society. The theme “Live Without Dead Time” is lifted from the spray-painted French phrase on the Walls of Sorbonne University—placed there in the midst of 1968 Paris riots. Touched by the bravery of protestors, curator Christina Li has selected a host of artworks to reflect the tense political climate in Bangkok. The two-part exhibition covers motion pictures and installations as well as live music and late night gatherings.

Jim Thompson Arts Center, 10/1 Kasem San 2 Alley
Until November 13, Wednesday-Sunday 1-6pm

2/5 House of Passa

House of Passa claims to be an experiential retail designed to serve your senses through experimental objects and space. Passa in Balinese means “to touch” or “to feel”, and that’s exactly what the venue is inviting you to do with its BY TRIAL(n) ERROR (EP1) Exhibition.

3/5 Brutal Club Exhibition

Are you ready to see what lies on the other side of the human mind? Trendy Gallery and River City Bangkok proudly present Brutal Club, an art exhibition by Karms that unfolds what is confined to the mind or by society on paintings for people to see. One of the key themes are the uncontrollable impulses of the human mind.

The project highlights four top street artists—Thanachai Ujjin (Pod Moderndog), Nev3r, Linecensor, and Mamablues—who have teamed up to transform the Noble Create retail gallery in the heart of Ekamai-Ramindra expressway. Four sample rooms have been transformed into the artist’s personal creative space filled with artworks, daily necessities, and various collectibles that bear significance to the artists.
