Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook

This show represents the first U.S. retrospective of Rasdjarmrearnsook, a Thai artist who has a major reputation in Southeast Asia. In recent years, she's focused on film and video, mainly to capture performances involving herself and others. In one piece, she can be seen delivering an academic lecture to a line of corpses laid on the floor. In another work, a group of peasants try to make sense of Jean-Francois Millet's 1857 painting, The Gleaners. Both seem to evoke the all-too-frequent gaps between information and understanding.
