Filipino artist TRNZ has unveiled “Everything Was Where It Wasn’t,” a solo exhibition now open at the Tang Contemporary Art Bangkok in River City Bangkok. Running until Aug. 24, 2025 and curated by Michael Sena, the series of new paintings explores the fragile architecture of everyday life — where logic loosens, time folds in on itself, and the familiar quietly slips into the familiar. 

TRNZ’s signature aesthetic — clean lines and visual clarity inspired by Japanese animation and meticulous storytelling — delivers a poetic meditation on solitude and the emotional blurs of modern living. The works don’t ask for attention, but there is quiet persistence in them that invites stillness. Their emotional tone isn’t loud, but restrained — and in that restraint, the weight of each piece is felt with enduring intensity. 

Each scene feels suspended in time: where objects repeat, memories fragment, and meaning drifts in the gentle distortion of daydreams. Here, TRNZ’s characters do not speak; they pause. They are a mirror of ourselves as we try to navigate through the universal condition of modern life, where we are alone, yet profoundly connected in our isolation.

With “Everything Was Where It Wasn’t,” TRNZ gives a vision of life that is both gentle and unyielding. It is a portrait of our emotional world, rendered with remarkable clarity and sensitivity. TRNZ also invites us into this shared inner landscape, a space without linear time, where forms repeat and meaning slides, where everything is just slightly out of space. 

Paradoxically, everything is exactly where it wasn’t and yet where we recognize ourselves most clearly. 

“Everything Was Where It Wasn’t” is currently on view at Tang Contemporary Art Bangkok (Room 201-206, 2nd Floor, River City Bangkok) from Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11 AM to 7 PM, until Aug. 24, 2025.

POP MART’s beloved character DIMOO is more than just a pop culture icon — he’s now the “Special Friend of China-Thailand’s Golden Jubilee”!

On June 30, 2025, the POP MART character was officially awarded the title during a ceremony hosted by Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy. 

The reception was attended by Mr. Piyapak Sricharoen, Director-General of the Department of East Asian Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Thailand, Ms. Chang Yumeng, Minister Counselor at the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Kingdom of Thailand, and Ms. Chen Xiaoyun, Vice President of POP MART International Group. 

This honor marks POP MART’s creative homage to China and Thailand’s 50 years of friendship and diplomatic relations, and it came with a surprise: a limited-edition DIMOO figurine designed with a Thai baby elephant on its head, traditional attire, and a lotus flame, representing Chinese wisdom and the friendship between the two nations.  

During the ceremony, DIMOO, dressed in Thai costume, performed a dance featuring both Chinese and Thai cultural elements. Artist Ayan Deng also made a special appearance at the session, where many fans brought their collected DIMOO figurines to be autographed. 

Adding to the appeal, POP MART also teamed up with China Eastern Airlines to launch a special edition aircraft designed with DIMOO’s China-Thailand 50th anniversary design. The plane made its first flight on July 4, connecting multiple cities in China with Bangkok. 

This collaboration marks a fresh new take on cultural diplomacy — using art toys and pop culture icons to connect people across cultures. In this celebration of 50 years of China-Thailand friendship, DIMOO serves not only as a jubilee figure, but also as a visual and emotional symbol of friendship. 

Moving forward, POP MART will continue to build an expressive, upward-reaching brand that fosters meaningful cultural connections and shares the joy of art toy culture with the world.

Have you had “Day 1" on repeat since 2018, or are you a fresh convert from TikTok’s “Location Unknown” edits? Either way, you're in for a treat, because HONNE is dialing up the soul and synth in Thailand's capital city for one unforgettable night only. 

On July 27, 2025, the beloved British electro-soul duo will return to Bangkok for the highly anticipated “The OUCH World Tour," an experience that promises to keep you "Warm On a Cold Night."

HONNE, consisting of Andy Clutterbuck and James Hatcher, has carved out a space where soulful serenades meet glossy synth-pop. Now, after a string of buzz-worthy performances (including a March set at Pattaya's biggest food and art festival, Pelupo), they are bringing their sonic wonder to True Icon Hall at ICONSIAM.

Fans can expect them to perform tracks from their latest album "OUCH," which premiered on Sept. 6, 2024, and sent fans into a frenzy. With 16 tracks on the album, ranging from the comforting ballad "Lean on Me" to the sultry “SHHH,” the album dives deeper into their signature romantic sound.

This marks HONNE’s fifth time performing in Bangkok since their debut in 2017, proving the city holds a special place in their heart — and vice versa. And as if that weren’t enough, the night kicks off with Thai sensation Bowkylion, whose dreamy pop ballads will warm the crowd up just right. 

For the Bangkok stop, doors to the concert open at 7 PM, with the duo taking the stage until 8:30 PM.

Thailand wins big at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival!

Thai Black Comedy-Fantasy film “A Useful Ghost” has won the Grand Prix award at Critics’ Week of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. This marks the first time a Thai film has won the prestigious award in the festival’s parallel section. 

Directed and written by Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke in his directorial debut, the film follows the story of a ghost wife who possesses a vacuum cleaner to live with her husband. “A Useful Ghost” stars Davika Hoorne and Witsarut Himmarat. 

The Grand Prix prize for “A Useful Ghost” comes 15 years after Thailand won its first Palme d’Or through Apitchatpong Weerasethakul’s “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives” in 2010. 

The film was co-produced by Momo Film Co. (Singapore), Haut Les Mains (France), and other production companies from Germany and Thailand. The project was supported by the Singapore Film Commission (SFC) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). 

“A Useful Ghost” is also the second Southeast Asian film to win the prize, following Malay horror film “Tiger Stripes” in 2023. 

The Critics’ Week is the section of the annual Cannes Film Festival where new filmmakers and talents are discovered and supported. Some famous directors whose first and second feature films debuted at the Critics’ Week include Guillermo del Toro, Wong Kar-wai, and Andrea Arnold. 

The Cannes Film Festival’s Main Awards Ceremony will happen on May 24, 2025, where 19 films are in the running for the prestigious Palme d’Or. “Anora,” directed by Sean Baker, won the Palme d’Or award last year. 

Watch the trailer for “A Useful Ghost” here. 

Step into the quirky world of 'The Bootleg Show “An Exploration of Originals and Alterations," a mind-bending solo exhibition by Thai-Hong Kong artist Mrkreme, now running at MOCA Bangkok until June 29, 2025.

This is not your typical art show. Driven by the question, "What does it mean to be original?" get ready to be immersed in an interactive experience that'll spark ideas on imperfection, reinterpretation, and transformation — core themes of the show. 

The adventure kicks off with a massive furry monster Mushkin, standing 30 mushrooms tall (measured by MOCA), welcoming you into a world where the bizarre reigns supreme. Mushkin is the star of this show – a whimsical art toy concept gone wonderfully awry. What started as a simple prototype that went wrong morphed into a deeper examination of originality. 

But that’s just the beginning, each room holds more surprises in Mrkreme’s signature pop-surrealist style. Mrkreme uses clay in his works, the very material that sparked his art toy journey, alongside trippy acrylic paintings, to bring his vision to life. 

The fun, interactive elements of the exhibition make it a must-visit. Mrkreme challenges you to become a co-creator by sketching Mushkin from memory. Your drawings will then be reimagined and transformed into new artworks in a fusion of paintings, sculptures, and even video installations.

Get lost in the weirdness and let your creativity flow at the one-of-a-kind "The Bootleg Show."

Adult tickets are priced at THB180, Students (with ID) at THB100, and there is free entry for kids under 100 cm. You can purchase these tickets here.
