𝑨𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒅𝒋𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒌: 𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 unfolds as both a continuation of Part One: The Same Old Karma and a return to the 2017 exhibition 𝑨𝒏 𝑨𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝑻𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝑹𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒕𝒐 “𝑩𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝑾𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓”, tracing Araya’s position between writer and artist. ✍🏻 The exhibition brings together writings from different moments—completed texts, notes, and fragments—unfastened and reassembled alongside video works that carry her words in the voice of “an artist.” These elements reflect her persistent engagement with language, narration, and text, offering perspectives on memory, dogs, life, death, and art. At one side, this gesture appears through an unfinished writing outlined as a novel—halted at a moment of beauty—while her texts extend into spoken voice, surrounding the space. The installation also gathers contributions from over forty collaborators, scholars, curators, artists, and readers, who each selected passages of Araya’s writing that have stayed with them. These fragments are rearranged into an unpolished, long-form narrative—an accumulation of words that echo, linger, and invite new readings. Together, 𝑨𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒅𝒋𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒌: 𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 invites viewers to read Araya’s practice through her writing, where image and utterance, script and remembrance, and art and words remain in dialogue. 📖 Following the recent launch of 𝑨𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒅𝒋𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒌: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒖𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉, the publication is now available at 100 Tonson Foundation, @maiiam_contemporary , and internationally via @pressworks_store . Proceeds from copies purchased at the Foundation will be donated to “Ban Wang Mah,” supporting the care of stray dogs and animal shelters. 🙏🏻💖 Dogs are also welcome to visit the exhibition 🐕 📌An upcoming public program in April will invite you to listen and read “the unfinished writings” together. More details soon. — Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: Textually Curated by Nutdanai Songsriwilai @quake.the.earth On view: 21 February – 31 May 2026 #ArayaRasdjarmrearnsook #Textually #100TonsonFoundation #ThaiContemporaryArt #ArtExhibition

During the Reading Session “Where the Non-appearance Speaks”, #ArayaRasdjarmrearnsook surprised the audience by sharing her voice through a final reading from 𝑵𝒐𝒏-𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆, bringing the program to a memorable close. 📖 This public program forms part of our current exhibition “Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: Textually”, which explores Araya’s practice through language, writing, narration, and the interplay between textual and visual forms. Bringing together completed writings alongside unfinished drafts, notes, and literary fragments, the exhibition invites audiences to read Araya’s paradigm in her capacity as an author, as a writer—venturing into a landscape of letters dense with dialogues between Image and Utterance, Script and Remembrance, Experience and Taste of literature, Art and Words. 🎵Special thanks to @andy.zua for the live guitar improvisation throughout the session, attuned to the rhythms, moods, and voices of the reading. With only 3 weeks remaining before the exhibition closes at the end of this month, visitors are warmly invited to spend time with the works during their final weeks on view. Dogs are also welcome in the exhibition space. 🐕✨ 📌A Closing Gathering will take place on Sunday, 31 May 2026, at 100 Tonson Foundation, marking the final day of Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: #Textually. ✍🏻 Curated by Nutdanai Songsriwilai @quake.the.earth Exhibition On View: (Part Two) 21 February – 31 May 2026 - 100 Tonson Foundation 100 Tonson Road Bangkok 10330 #ReadingSession #ThaiContemporaryArt #100TonsonFoundation

📹 We are sharing excerpts from “Where the Non-Appearance Speaks” — a public program held as part of our current exhibition, Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: Textually, featuring a reading session with @andy.zua . Through the voices and distinct modes of reading of nine readers, selected passages from “Mass” and “Non-Appearance” — two unfinished literary works by #ArayaRasdjarmrearnsook — were collectively brought into presence. Words once read silently in the mind were voiced aloud, creating new perceptions and experiences for readers, listeners, and the artist alike. ✍🏻The depth and construction of scenes and dialogues within Araya’s writing gradually revealed themselves through the act of reading aloud, while Andy Zua’s guitar underscored shifting moods and atmospheres in response to each reader’s interpretation. A return to words, language, spacing, and the distinctive weaving of narrative in Araya’s work formed a landscape of letters that resonated differently with each act of reading. With appreciation to the nine readers who took part in the session: @beambarnies @pavida_wachi @artistboxza @nawapune_ @oat_montien Preyanuch Budsayatrut @dipnapt @topshoodie @fringer 🙏🏻✨ #AndyZua continually organizes reading sessions across cafés and independent spaces in Bangkok and beyond, where he selects themes and books to be read alongside live guitar improvisation that responds to the rhythm of the text and the act of reading. Follow @andy.zua to stay updated on his upcoming activities and sessions.📖 📌 Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: Textually remains on view through the end of this month, with a closing event on 31 May 2026. We warmly invite you to visit the exhibition and join us for its final gathering. Further details will be announced soon — please stay tuned via our Facebook and Instagram.

📖 100 Tonson Foundation would like to thank everyone who joined “Where the Non-Appearance Speaks”, a public program held as part of the exhibition Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: #Textually, on Saturday, 18 April 2026. The event centered on readings of selected passages from “Mass” and “Non-Appearance”, accompanied by improvised guitar by contemporary artist @andy.zua . “Mass” and “Non-Appearance” are two literary works by #ArayaRasdjarmrearnsook that remain unfinished and also serve as points of departure for the exhibition. Through the voices and modes of reading of the nine readers, the depth and construction of scenes and dialogues within Araya’s writing were revealed, while Andy Zua’s guitar underscored shifting moods and atmospheres in response to each reader’s interpretation. A return to words, to language, to spacing, and to the distinctive weaving of narrative in Araya’s work formed a landscape of letters that resonates differently with each act of reading. 🙏🏻✨ Gratitude to everyone who attended, especially the nine readers who shaped the atmosphere of the reading and shared their voices for Non-Appearance. We also appreciate those who joined the open session following the program, selecting texts from the exhibition to read alongside Andy Zua’s improvised guitar. Special recognition to @andy.zua for performing throughout, attuned to each voice, and to Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook for surprising the audience with a final reading from “Non-Appearance”, bringing the event to a memorable close. 🐕☺️ Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: Textually remains on view through Sunday, 31 May 2026. A final public program will take place in May—further details to be announced. Please stay tuned on our Facebook and Instagram.

📖 “Where the Non-appearance Speaks,” a #ReadingSession with Andy Zua invites all participants to enter into a shared experience with the literary work that forms the conceptual ground of Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: #Textually, through the reading aloud of selected passages from the novel Non-Appearance by #ArayaRasdjarmrearnsook, accompanied by a live guitar improvisation by @andy.zua , whose melodic lines and rhythms shift in response to the nature of the text and to the cadence of each participant’s reading. 📅 Saturday, 18th April 2026 🕒 3 pm onwards 📍 100 Tonson Foundation #AndyZua is a Thai contemporary artist whose practice spans multiple forms. He is also known as Protozua, a rapper from Rap Against Dictatorship @rad_ig , producing music that calls for civil liberties and reflects the injustices in society. Zua is also a co-founder of the zine collective @moving.weirdnest , which creates a platform for sharing narratives and artistic works, with the aim of positioning self-published books as a means to extend the reach of Thai artists’ works to wider global audiences. In addition, he occasionally organizes reading sessions at @a.rai.a.rai and other cafés in Bangkok, where he selects a theme and a book to be read alongside live guitar improvisation that follows the rhythm of the text and the act of reading. Where the Non-appearance Speaks extends this format into the cadence of Araya’s novel, forming a textual rhythm in which the atmosphere is guided by the reader. 🎵We are sharing moments from the rehearsal here, alongside a selected passage from Araya—an invitation to enter the rhythm of the reading. Interested participants may join as either “Readers” or “Listeners.” Listeners are welcome without limitation. For those interested in being Readers, please register via the link in bio to receive selected excerpts from Non-Appearance in advance for preparation. The activity is limited to eight readers only. *The reading session will be in Thai* 📸 Theeprachan Chaichana @cineeema

#ArayaRasdjarmrearnsook is a writer with a singular and unmistakable use of language. Her works convey stories drawn from fragments of memory, depicted as scenes, atmospheres, and the weight of emotion interwoven with sorrow, love, desire, and even death. At the same time, it embeds her personal insights and experiences, reflected through gestures of irony or contemplation on life and artistic practice. Her prose is remarkably distinctive in its use of descriptive imagery, metaphors, and similes, as well as in the shifting roles of nouns, verbs, and adverbs to ensure the narrative resonates with sensation and meaning. Equally significant is her placement of spacing, which opens the writing to diverse interpretations depending on each reader’s rhythm. It may be said that the act of writing, and the pursuit, teasing, and utilizing of letters and words, serve as a parallel world and another body of her artistic practice. “Non-Appearance” is the literary work that forms part of Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: #Textually, in which the writing has been transformed into five textile pieces containing letterforms that retain the colors and graphic qualities of the original manuscript, installed together with the voice of a soul body–an altered embodiment of Araya–reading passages from Non-Appearance, shaping and guiding the atmosphere, tone, and rhythm of a landscape of characters through the voice of the narrative itself. 📖 Public Program: “Where the Non-appearance Speaks”

For this #Throwback(almost)Thursday, we are revisiting our first collaboration with Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: her impactful 4-day video installation exhibition at 100 Tonson Gallery, 2006. This provocative installation featured six screens capturing the raw, unscripted voices of female patients in a psychiatric ward. By diving into the human psyche and challenging our perceptions of memory and sanity, the work remains as powerful today as it was twenty years ago. Running alongside these narratives was Araya’s own exploration of social taboo. Through her “fake pregnancy,” she challenged social judgments and the gossip surrounding her role as a single, middle-aged professor. This series later traveled to Sydney’s 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art in 2015, with 100 Tonson proudly supporting the accompanying publication. As Araya currently showcases her latest project at the foundation @100tonsonfoundation , we are honored to continue our long-standing partnership in sharing bold, unforgettable stories. #ArayaRaadjarmrearnsook #VideoInstallation #100TonsonGallery #contemporaryart

Our space: Not only our main exhibition space, 100 Tonson also has a “small room” where we’ve been collecting magazines, books, catalogues, and art-related publications. We use it as our own little art library—a fun corner for preparing exhibitions, displaying artists’ playful merchandise, and occasionally showing works outside the current show. Recently, some artists have started using this space to share their research materials and past works, giving visitors a chance to get to know them better. The room has gradually become more lively and full of energy. Next time you visit, don’t forget to stop by our “small room”!

Still taking this in-so honored to be part of this news! The Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden @hirshhorn will reopen this Fall with new acquisitions by an amazing group of artists including Mark Grotjahn, Lauren Halsey, Chatchai Puipia, and more. Truly grateful. 📰 The Art Newspaper / /2026/03/26/hirshhorn-museum-sculpture-garden-outdoor-acquisitions Via @theartnewspaper.official @theartnewspaper.us

From Wit Pimkanchanapong’s #InfiniteMaze, first introduced in “Planetary Seed” at 100 Tonson Foundation, the work has continued to grow and transform—expanding into #OctaveMaze, where sound and musical elements shape the experience, and #BaanBardo, a large-scale outdoor pavilion for cultural exploration at @wonderfruit . Each version unfolds differently, responding to its environment and context. This week at @artbasel #ArtBaselHongKong, @witpimkan presents the latest chapter of this evolving practice: “LifeChapters”, an immersive, site-specific installation presented by @chubblifehk . At the Chubb Life Lounge within the fair, the installation invites visitors to step into an ever-shifting maze of possibility. As you navigate through the maze-like environment, subtle cues—objects, sounds, and phrases—act as portals for reflection, prompting consideration of life’s unpredictable paths. There are no fixed routes; the journey is shaped by your own decisions. Shifting walls, semi-transparent surfaces, and changing sightlines heighten an awareness of others moving alongside you. Every moment can redefine a life.
