Beauty of Bettas: An Interview with Photographer Visarute Angkatavanich
If you didn’t know any better, the subjects in Thai photographer Visarute Angkatavanich’s exhibition at the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall may appear completely enigmatic. It can be difficult to tell what exactly these glorious, silk-like creatures are in these photographs, as they dance gracefully in the light, taking on watery shapes that bend and fold to become anything from flowers to fashion.

Review: Framed, By Adolf by The Finger Players
Dark fairytale meets con-job for justice in this story-within-a-story about the holocaust and art. The art world is fickle and subjective, with the monetary worth of a painting determined by market forces and its value by its frame, specifically the way a backstory ‘frames’ and positions an artwork to give it legitimacy. But even the volatile art market is in agreement that a controversial work … Continue reading Review: Framed, By Adolf by The Finger Players

I’m convinced Tokyo is one of the most magical megalopolises to exist on the face of the earth. Beyond being situated in Japan (no doubt a favourite country of ours), there’s life all about the city from the crack of dawn to the fading of the last sunbeams. And in particular, Roppongi comes out tops when it comes to the king of Tokyo nightlife. But … Continue reading Blue Note Tokyo: A Touch of Class In The Heart of Tokyo
