DESCRIPTION:This much-anticipated online piece from boundary-breaking dire
 ctor Apichatpong Weerasethakul makes its debut as the first artist commiss
 ion on the Walker Channel. The source for live and archived video of the W
 alker’s public programming\, the Walker Channel includes lectures\, dial
 ogues\, and performances involving artists\, scholars\, and critics of con
 temporary art and culture.  \n\nWeerasethakul’s short video  Cactus Rive
 r (Khong Lang Nam) (2012\, video\, 10:09 minutes)\, under discussion since
  he was the subject of a Regis Dialogue and Retrospective in 2004\, has be
 en created amid a packed schedule of projects—one that’s only grown mo
 re intense since his feature film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Li
 ves won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2010. The artist was  included in th
 e exhibition dOCUMENTA 13 and has recently completed the feature film Meko
 ng Hotel\, which also screens at the Walker. \nWalker film curator Sheryl 
 Mousley calls Weerasethakul an ideal choice for the multidisciplinary inst
 itution's first Walker Channel commission: “His ability to mix genres—
 experimental\, narrative\, documentary—is only part of his distinctive v
 ision\,” she says. “He’s also so accomplished in both old and new me
 dia: besides films\, he makes objects\, video installations\, and exhibiti
 ons\, and integrates his vision across those art forms\, always with amazi
 ng results.”  \n
