See Angki’s ‘prison scans’

Indonesian photographer Angki Purbandono will be in Bangkok on Saturday to open his show “Grey Area” at Bangkok University Gallery in Kluey Namthai. On view through July 26 will be examples of his “scanography”, made while he was imprisoned on a drug charge in 2012 and 2013. Denied a camera, he used a flatbed scanner to produce creative images, sometimes in collaboration with the warden and fellow inmates. The work is full of surprises, often appearing otherworldly. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 to 7. Call (02) 350 3626 or check the “BangkokUniversaryGallery” page on Facebook.

Why money looks different

After trying his hand as a curator for several years, Angkrit Ajchariyasophon has his artist’s hat back on again for a solo show, “Shades of Red”, at Gallery Ver in Bangkok until May 20. He addresses post-coup politics and distortion in truth by, for example, vastly enlarging a Bt100 bank note, cutting it into 500 pieces, and reassembling it using only 100 pieces. The gallery is in the N22 complex on Narathiwas Rachanakarin Road. Check the “GalleryVer” Facebook page.

The look of true nature

French photographer Philippe Moisan, a long-time Bangkok resident, has his latest work on show in “Essences” at the PT-gallery in Bang Rak district until June 30. Moisan finds the “quintessence” in nature’s raw beauty in 13 large prints of images from a Japanese forest. Alongside his photos are woodcarvings by P Tendercool, the Bangkok-based, Belgian-run furniture-design studio. PT-gallery is at 48-58 Charoen Krung Soi 30 in Bang Rak and open daily from 10 to 6.30.
