Khao Yai Art Forest is bidding farewell to Louise Bourgeois’ Maman, the artist’s monumental spider that helped put the sculpture park in Thailand on the map.

Founded by collector Marisa Chearavanont, the open-air museum set in 160-acres of countryside opened in February. It will be holding a two-day goodbye event on August 16-17, giving Maman a proper send-off before it returns to the late artist's Easton Foundation.

Chearavanont, who married into one of Asia’s wealthiest business dynasties, also founded the Bangkok Kunsthalle.

Farewell to Maman includes traditional masked dancing with the National Theatre of Thailand, plus an eco-printing workshop and mandala making.

The Japanese artist Hisachika Takahashi, who has died aged 85, was a man of many talents.

He arrived in New York in 1969 and became Robert Rauschenberg's long serving assistant. Takahashi’s duties overseeing the artist's SoHo studio included taking care of Rauschenberg’s pets and plants.

As well as helping Rauschenberg until his death, Takahashi also left his mark on New York’s culinary scene. When he was an occasional cook at the artist-run restaurant Food, he introduced sushi to the menu.

He did not travel directly from Japan to the US, however. First he sailed to Venice where he met the artist Lucio Fontana and became his assistant for two years.

In later life the Japanese artist divided his time between Vermont and Paris and his own work came to the fore. His paintings and print works blended traditional Japanese techniques with modern abstract styles, including collage.

The artist’s solo show is currently on view at the Empty Gallery in Hong Kong (until August 23), organized by his Tokyo-based gallery, Misako & Rosen.

Forget trad-wife taste, the Barcelona Pavilion designed by Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich has been transformed into an homage to a trad Spanish auntie.

Josefina Camó Valls, nicknamed Pepi, was a toddler when the Modernist pavilion was first unveiled at the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. She never married, worked as an embroiderer and left behind a home full of traditional furniture, clutter and an imaginative nephew.

The artist Xevi Bayona saved his aunt’s possessions after her death and has now filled the pavilion with them but not as you might expect. Visitors encounter her belongings arranged not on the floor but hanging from the ceiling, overturning Mies's best laid plans for modern living.

La Padrina and the Belongings of Domesticity is on view until August 17.

It's hard to escape the shadow of the atomic bomb at the Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art, which overlooks the Japanese city.

Hiroshima MOCA shares the wooded hillside of Hijiyama Park with what is now called the Radiation Effects Research Foundation but was originally named the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission.

The museum is marking the 80th anniversary of the city’s destruction on August 6, 1945 with a group show combining historic and contemporary works titled Between Memories and Objects.

On show is a model of Isamu Noguchi's unbuilt Memorial to the Dead of Hiroshima alongside another model, this time of architect Tange Kenzo’s Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. That scheme was built largely as planned and today provides the architectural and symbolic setting for the city’s commemoration ceremonies.
