Building on the critical and popular success of Siamese Connection 2010, Thai Artists Alliance is pleased to present the second year of its multidisciplinary arts showcase, Siamese Connection 2011: Rediscover, which highlights the work of new and emerging Thai and Thai-American artists in New York City.

Siamese Connection 2011: Rediscover will feature the works of 25 selected Thai artists as well as 6 distinguished guest artists who work in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, photography, film, design, and multi-media installations. Siamese Connection: Rediscover brings together a broad range of Thai artists working in the United States today. The artists presented here live, work and create their art in the space that forms the urban streetscapes, ideas and energies of New York City, as well as the dynamic impulses of contemporary Thai artistic expression.

This year’s theme of “rediscover” presents the vision of an ever more complex and global cosmopolitanism, how it is re-imagined or explored in novel ways, and how it connects across wide cultural interpretive spaces. To rediscover one’s Thai identity through art, to revisit the commonplace, and to explore the everyday essence of experience are reflected in the work of this year’s gifted group of artists.
