The digital deception Noraset Vaisayakul’s installations are a provocative journey through the “Subsconciouscape” at Gallery Ver until February 14. His work satirises life in the digital age, where electronics rule. Your preconceptions don’t stand a chance when you encounter the gulf between illuŽsion and reality. The gallery is on the second floor of Klongsan Plaza on Charoenakon Road and is open Tuesday to Saturday from 1 to 7. Call (02) 861 0933 or visit www.VerVer.info.
Women who find a way
Chainapa Lepajarn is showing small sculptures in “Uneven Life” at La Lanta Fine Art from February 3 to 28. The value and power of women form the basis for a show that shows how female dignity – and opportunity – arises from endurance, intellect, tenacity and wisdom. The gallery is on Sukhumvit Soi 31 and is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 to 7. Call (02) 204 0583.
