Greetings:

Friday 11, Sa Sa Art Projects presents an on-line artist talk, I Found It Somewhere, but I Cannot Find It, by artist in residence Jaro Varga .  “Jaro Varga conditions the choreography of the visitor’s movement in a well-known space, or else he initiates the visitor’s translocation into unknown circumstances through fiction. He tries to construct new topographies and he wants to engage the visitor in a different understanding of the contexts relating to spaces otherwise stereotypically fixed in our memory.”  In English with Khmer translation.  6 – 7:30 pm.  To register: shorturl.at/beCJX.

Coming soon:
 
Next Tuesday, March 15 at Meta House, the presentation of the Soul Kitchen project by German visual artists Vera Lossau and Lilla von Puttkamer.  The two artists aim to produce a Cambodian-German artists’ cookbook with recipes and stories of the women/artists who contribute these recipes. The project also plans for an exhibition in Berlin at the non-commercial art project space “mp43”, operated by Carola Rümper.

Pi-Pet-Pi Gallery
The Past is the Road to the Future by Chan Phuon.  “For these works are made according to the changing situation of Cambodia.   The current rich in all kinds of machines and the development of new machines in the future.  Some people who live in the modern world and are obsessed with new technologies, in part, lose their identity, which is rich in art and culture.  And those people will have to face a wandering life that does not know who they are.”

Romcheik5 Art Space
Whose Fault is it? by Chanpenh Nget.  “Throughout 15 paintings, he describes a country in chiaroscuro where the skins are coppery but the skies leaden … alternating a diversity of browns and grays, tanned skins under dark skies. In the background of his paintings, all in the semi-darkness, the weather is not nice … The sun never shines in Chanpenh’s kingdom.”
