Mango Art Festival

‘It’s less of an exhibition, more of a collision,’ says one curator, adjusting a badge that simply reads ‘No Rules’. Across six loosely defined zones – some whispering design, others shouting installation – the fair unravels like a fever dream of what art might be if no one asked it to behave. There are the usual suspects: glossy names, hushed galleries, the lingering smell of fresh varnish. But wander further and things begin to fray. In the Independent Artist Zone, a painter from Chiang Mai is airbrushing over an IKEA table. Nearby, the Newcomer corner hums with ideas not yet smoothed into statements. Workshops spill over with glue guns and improvised philosophy. May 7-11. Free. River City Bangkok, 11am-8pm
