Society needs to learn how to use Cannabis and Hemp
14 Sept 10:42Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's legalization of cannabis and hemp demands immediate public education to ensure safe consumption and differentiate between beneficial CBD and psychoactive THC.
Industry experts emphasize strict control over THC content (under 0.2%) and highlight that beneficial CBD can be sourced from various plant parts, not solely the high-THC flower.
With evolving regulations, comprehensive public awareness is crucial to guide consumers on appropriate use in food, drink, and other products, preventing misuse and fostering responsible integration into society.
Bright at Midnight: Conceptual echoes of Bas Jan Ader Arrive in Bangkok
Today 15:13Key points summarised by AI
"Bright at Midnight" marks the first institutional exhibition in Asia of Dutch conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader, showcasing his enigmatic work at Bangkok Kunsthalle until January 10, 2027.
The exhibition delves into Ader's legacy, exploring themes of vulnerability and the ephemeral, made more poignant by his 1975 disappearance at sea during an art project.
It encourages viewers to engage with art beyond its material form, featuring key pieces like "Thoughts unsaid, Then forgotten," "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks," and the haunting film "Launch of the Ocean Wave."
A highlight is the planned live transformation of "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks" in 2026, where ropes will be cut, creating a new layer of art from the destructive impact.
The exhibition challenges conventional art consumption, advocating for a deeper appreciation of conceptual and research-driven artistic practices over mere fascination with art as an asset class.
