BANGKOK — Israeli and Mexican artists are bringing their exhibitions to a Bangkok gallery from Wednesday through the end of the month.

Featuring photographs and interactive exhibitions, a contemporary art display will showcase works by Mexican and Israeli artists at the The National Gallery near Bangkok’s Old Town.

The exhibition itself includes Israeli artist Maya Gelfman’s “Outside Looking In,” a collection of paintings and installations centered around the postmodern theme that reality can be reflected to mean different meanings.

Combining works from four contemporary Mexican artists, landscapes and abstract spaces will feature in Mexican exhibition “Geographies.” “To Dream Cities On Concentric Circles,” is an installation by Betsabee Romero that focuses on the sacred altars in Thai – and Mexican – taxis. Alfredo de Stefano’s “All the Deserts Are My Desert” is a collection of 20 photographs of seven deserts from around the world: the Sahara, the Gobi, the Atacama, the Nazca, the Thar, the Gran Cuenca and the Chihuahua.
