From seeds grow visions
Somluk Pantiboon moulds into his pottery the beautiful seeds that he collects in the woods near his Chiang Rai home. It’s a stunning effect, on view in “The Still Voice of the Forest”, at the Ardel Gallery until December 28.
The characteristics of the different seeds allow for unique interpretations about body and soul sheltered by nature.
The gallery is at 99/45 Belle Ville, Boromrachachonnanee Road Km 10.5 in Bangkok’s Thawee Wattana district. It’s open daily except Monday from 10 to 6.30. Call (02) 422 2092 or visit www.ArdelGallery.com.

Art against eyesores
The British Council wants Bangkok citizens to get involved in its “Creative Cities” programme by picking the buildings, streets and other public spaces they’d like to see improved with art. Submit your photos to www.ChangeBangkok.com by December 1 and cast a vote for the ones you think need help the most. British and Thai artists will next year fix up the 10 places that gets the most votes.
