The former publishing house Watana Panich–not to be confused with the 100-year-old braised beef in Ekkamai–has found its second life as an art space. From now until 11 February, Bangkok Kunsthalle is housing Nine Plus Five Works from the French filmmaker and artist Michel Auder.

Bangkok folks are blessed with another creative space where they can pretend to wear their over-analytical lens while appreciating the arts. The space in question is Bangkok Kunsthalle (which, according to our editor who happens to be German, roughly translated to ‘Bangkok art hall’).
The project is the brainchild of Marisa Chiaravanont, who’s behind several creative campaigns like the Chef Care Foundation that makes Jay Fai and Shin Ramyun’s collaborations happen–you can read our verdict here.
Boasting an extensive space, Bangkok Kunsthalle is expected to house several artworks all year round. Its inaugural exhibition sees the works of French filmmaker and artist Michel Auder who captures the ubiquitous sceneries of Bangkok lives–think his ‘Yaowarat,’ featuring the spontaneous fluidity of Yaowarat’s street life, and ‘Flowers of Thailand’, an interplay of colours and forms presented in looping, unsynchronised sequences.
