The eight artists in the show who among them are Dr. Kamol Tassananchalee and Thawan Duchanee demonstrate from their distinct approaches, a culturally-interconnected world where boundaries between Eastern and Western culture become increasingly plural and continue to produce new and vital forms. Upon arriving in the United States, the artists will unpack works spanning across the mediums of painting, sculpture, mixed and digital media.
