Time Out says

Alexander Coke Smith VI returns to Bangkok with a quietly mesmerising exhibition tucked inside the ground floor of Warehouse Talat Noi. The space, usually a corridor of clang and concrete, softens under the presence of his miniature cities. Old Bangkok appears in careful relief, its wooden shopfronts and crooked alleys reconstructed with near monastic patience. Other historic towns emerge beside it like half-remembered dreams, each model a reminder that urban memory can be held in the palm of a hand. Smaller works, brought to the capital for a brief showing before slipping back to the artist’s island studio, add a sense of fleeting intimacy. The result is an intricate and unexpectedly tender survey of craft and imagination that invites curiosity from every age.

Until November 27. Free. The Warehouse Talat Noi. Check the schedule here.
