In conjunction with Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: The Bouquet and the Wreath, unfolding at MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum and Jameel Art Centre, Dubai, 100 Tonson Foundation presents a parallel exhibition titled Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: the Same Old Karma, co-organised with MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum, Chiang Mai. Together, these exhibitions revisit and reflect on nearly five decades of Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook’s artistic practice—one that persistently intertwines life, death, art, and writing into a singular, inseparable continuum.

 At the Foundation, Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: the Same Old Karma marks the first chapter of an ongoing archival project devoted to consolidating the artist’s extensive body of work. This exhibition attempts to trace the trajectory of Araya’s long practice through an interactive timeline that maps the convergence of her life, writings, and artworks. Presented alongside are her single-channel video works, revealing the evolution of her thinking—from intimate meditations on mortality to incisive reflections on social and cultural boundaries.

 The exhibition serves as preliminary research for the making of Araya archive, a long-term collaborative project currently in progress and scheduled for completion in January 2027. The second chapter, titled Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: Texturally, will focus on Araya’s text-based practice, exploring her essays, lectures, and literary writings that have profoundly reflected her artistic worldview.
