Time Out says

What is it? N22 Bangkok is a community of five art galleries: Gallery VER, Studio Be Takerng Pattanopas, Cartel Art Space, Mads Box, and La Lanta Fine Art. They have carved a niche away from the commercial city center on Soi Narathiwas 22. 

Why we love it: N22 was originally conceived by Rirkrit Tirvanija, the Thai artist who made cooking Pad Thai into performance art. Gallery VER and La Lanta Fine Art are the older siblings of the group, both opening in 2006, albeit in different original locations. Studio Be Takerng Pattanopas is an open studio that shows the namesake’s works, while Cartel Art Space may be physically small but packs a mighty punch in terms of artistic integrity. This band of gallerists support each other, and visitors may feel like they walked into a block party at times.

Time Out tip: Each gallery has well-versed staff, so come prepared to have long discussions about the exhibitions and the state of world affairs. There is a cosy cafe  at the top of Soi Narathiwas 22 fittingly called Mille Journeys of Sweet and Happiness – isn’t that just the best way to end a day of art appreciation?

Opening hours: N22 Bangkok, Tuesday to Sunday 10am-7pm. 2198/10-11 Soi Narathiwas 22, Bangkok, 10120

What’s on

Wolf Loving Princess

Yondonjamts presents a curious new chapter with Wolf Loving Princess, a body of work shaped by mythology, language and the slightly illogical territory of dreams. Animals appear as quiet guides throughout the exhibition, nudging viewers to consider the fragile line separating domesticated life from something wilder, lingering just beyond it. The project spreads across artist books, paintings, sculptures, video installations and sound, each medium carrying fragments of a larger story. Yondonjamts plays with translation in a semi-fictional way, mixing ancient Mongolian script, experimental ‘Animal Mongolian’, binary code and English. The result feels like a conversation between the visible world and unseen realms.  Until April 25. Free. Gallery VER, midday-6pm
