Max Crosbie-Jones reports from Bangkok, currently experiencing one of its regular waves of art-scene exuberance, and asks how well founded the excitement is. Anandi Mishra, recently relocated from Delhi to Gothenburg, Sweden, writes on the unexpected challenges and pleasures of being a reader in each of these cities. Adeline Chia explores Taiwan’s cultural ecology under the influence of a string of ambitious museum developments, including the Taichung Green Museumbrary complex. Artist Abdul Halik Azeez presents a project addressing some of the less visible forces behind development in Colombo’s Galle Face. Yuwen Jiang visits an exhibition in London featuring an eighteenth-century botany project that lays bare the complicated roots of colonialism. And Mark Rappolt annotates \u003ci\u003eThe Travels of Ibn Battuta\u003c\/i\u003e, the latest entry in the magazine’s ‘Eternal Returns’ series.
