Short back and sides or a thoroughly modern cut?
14 Sept 07:48Key points summarised by AI
Individuals widely use diverse hairstyles and colors as a powerful form of self-expression, reflecting their personalities, moods, and boosting personal confidence.
Thailand's Ministry of Education relaxed strict student hairstyle regulations in 2020, empowering schools to set their own rules that now encourage self-expression and potentially enhance student confidence and engagement.
Modern parents increasingly support their children's freedom to choose hairstyles for self-esteem and individuality, balancing this autonomy with guidance on school policies and the practicalities of hair treatments.
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.
