OPENING PARTY for 'WARLORDS'

WARLORDS Photographs by Troy Schooneman November 25, 2014 – February 28, 2015 Eat Me Restaurant is very pleased to announce an exhibition of portraits of professional Muay Thai fighters by the Australian-born artist Troy Schooneman, who has been based in Thailand for over a decade. WARLORDS most immediately distinguishes itself with the fact that these fighters are émigrés to Thailand. The appearances and poses of the men in Schooneman’s photographs both challenge and extend local views of the sport and the forms of masculinity that usually symbolize this artful yet brutal sport.
