Elissa Rae Ecker (b. 1984, Minnesota, USA) is an interdisciplinary maker, curator and lecturer currently working in Bangkok, Thailand. She holds a BFA in painting from the Peck School of the Arts at The University of Milwaukee and an MFA in Art Practice from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Elissa’s project-based practice questions traditional gender roles while playing with the absurdities of current visible traditions she experiences in Asia and her rural upbringing in the USA. Often wry in execution, her work spans object making, time-based media and net-art experiments. As a founding member of LIV_ID art collective (Bangkok-based) she also facilitates art experiences beyond typical art world boundaries. Elissa’s work has been shown internationally, with recent exhibitions included in the Bangkok Biennial, Thailand (2018) and in the former Robert Miller Gallery Space in New York, USA (2018).
