CRAFTED opens at Museum Pier on 31 October and continues until 8 November 2026, giving Bangkok visitors a public viewing period ahead of an art auction. The Art Auction Center presents a selection of 149 works, with established figures in Thai art appearing alongside artists whose work belongs to a more recent visual culture. Admission to the exhibition is free.

The venue's own announcement confirms viewing hours of 10:00–18:00. On the final Sunday, 8 November, the auction begins at 14:00. These are two different parts of the programme: looking at the exhibition does not require an intention to buy, while participation in the sale involves arrangements with the auction organiser.

A familiar fragrance can transport us to another place before we have consciously identified it. The scent of rain on warm pavement may recall an afternoon from childhood. The aroma of jasmine may evoke a quiet garden, while the delicate fragrance of old wood can bring back the atmosphere of a house that no longer exists. Unlike photographs or written words, scents often reach us without warning, carrying fragments of the past into the present.

In a world filled with images, products, and endless visual stimulation, the idea of an interior that offers silence has become increasingly compelling. A room does not need to be empty to feel peaceful, nor does it need to be filled with beautiful things to feel complete. Sometimes, the most expressive spaces are those in which every object has a reason to exist.

In a world shaped by constant movement, digital distractions, and the demands of everyday life, the spaces we inhabit have an extraordinary influence on how we feel. Architecture is often discussed in terms of structure, proportion, materials, and visual impact. Yet, beyond what we see, a thoughtfully designed environment can influence how we breathe, how we move, and how easily we find a moment of stillness.

What remains sacred when technology can model memory and the mind? Jinjoon Lee brings that question to Gallery VER in The Sacred Mountain, opening on 24 October and continuing until 19 December 2026.

Rammy Narula turns from public streets to the intimate world of family in For My Grandmother, a photography exhibition opening at Kathmandu Photo Gallery on 24 October 2026. Akkara Naktamna curates the presentation.

For visitors familiar with Narula's Platform 10 photographs, the exhibition offers a different route into his work: ordinary domestic moments become a way to approach absence and remembrance.

Discarded cardboard becomes a starting point for thinking about support and belonging in To Hold, To Be Held. Jeon Gi-ok's solo exhibition runs at Atelier 9 Bangkok from 24 October to 20 December 2026.
