Only eight kilometres north of the Great Pyramid on an edge of the Giza Plateau lie the remains of a giant structure. It is where the missing pyramid stands.

ART TALK
How you will celebrate this auspicious occasion? There will be a special exhibition on display in the gallery building's southern wing. It's divided into eight zones, and highlights the gallery's history and work over the past 30 years, individual works from various artists, the gallery's executives and their vision and photos from the gallery's archives, among other things.
'8/8/08 - 8/8/38'
The topic of appearance versus reality - and its substantiality - is nothing new in literature or in art. However, you can expect something new if it's treated by the artistically defiant Michael Shaowanasai. His latest show at Numthong Gallery, "8/8/08 - 8/8/38", though inspired by the artist's contemplation of his fading looks, is a contemplation of image and time, appearance and reality and the extent of performance art.
Disorientation, frustration and, perhaps, a tinge of discontentment are the initial results of visiting "The Ethics of Encounter". But don't leave just yet; stay on. There is more to see. Well, at least within yourself.
