Storytellers of the Town by Araya Rasjarmrearnsook at 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art
Araya Rasjarmrearnsook 13 Mar 2014 - 10 May 2014
Venue: 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Sydney, Australia
Exhibition period: 14 March - 10 May 2014
Araya
is one of Thailand's foremost contemporary artists whose practice is concerned
with the fundamental aspects of life and death, collective experiences of
history and fate, and the configuring of self through the redeployment of
everyday images and situations.
4A's
exhibition includes works which span two decades and represent the artist's
intimate and confronting meditations on the limits of the mind and body. The
art of Araya attempts to find a visual language to represent her experience as
a woman: a Thai person, a daughter and granddaughter, a teacher, and an
individual who has experienced loss through the deaths of those close to her.
