Tamara K.E.
Tamara K.E. resists the temptation of a surrogate bureaucratic definition of art, and it is due to the unsharpness and unidentifiability of her selection system that she gets the chance to direct our attention away from media pictures towards her own personality. Having to ask ourselves inevitably in view of her works according to what principle they are combined and exhibited, we admit to ourselves that we cannot identify with the artist on a conscious or on a subconscious level. Her personality remains a mystery to us… (Excerpt from A Private View by Boris Groys)

Through their married life they discovered artistic value while searching for resolution for their disputes. Their works are models for looking at the tension in human relationships. They also project an awareness of ‘living together as an adaptation’ in the rapidly globalizing world that we live in. In 2010, they began a participation project called Dialogue. It is an ongoing collaborative drawing of Thai / Thai American couples who live in United States.
