"Namo Buddhaya: A Path Towards The Divine Light" by Phatyos Buddhacharoen

SINGAPORE---Singapore Art Museum's excellent exhibition on Thai contemporary art is certainly worth a look. Titled "Thai Transience," it is conceptually tight, curatorially elegant and mightily theatrical. And it proves once again why Thailand's art scene is one of the most underrated in the region. Some of these artworks are reactions to the turmoil the country faced in recent years.... But largely, the works reflect the changing values of Thai people against the backdrop of Buddhism. [link]
