Géométries Virtuelles / un panorama de l’Art vidéo au CCF de Phnom Penh

Friday, March 20th, 2009


Bonjour,

Géométries Virtuelles est le premier évènement autour de l’Art Vidéo organisé au Cambodge.

De plus en plus, les jeunes artistes utilisent l’image animée dans leurs créations. Il est donc important que la nouvelle génération d’artistes cambodgiens ait une première approche de «l’outil vidéo ». La rencontre d’artistes d’horizons très divers a permis la création de vidéos réalisées en « binôme » qui seront présentées aux côtés d’œuvres réalisées par de jeunes artistes du monde entier.

Nous vous invitons à rencontrer les deux concepteurs du projet Alain Arnaudet et Carlos Franklin, ainsi les artistes présents à Phnom Penh qui participent à Géométries virtuelles :

- Belle Chumvan Sodhachivy et Victor Corolleur

- Sophon Phe

- Peou Sam An

- Leang Sekon et Carlos Franklin

- Philippe Chollet

Je serais heureuse de vous accueillir à cet événement, notamment à notre Nuit d’Images le samedi 28 mars à partir de 18h30.

Pour plus de renseignements, je vous joins le dossier de presse.

Cordialement,

Magali Poivert

Dear META HOUSE friends,

Tonite (6.30PM) weâ?™d like to invite you for the special screening of THE
CHOSEN ONES â?" a new documentary about Jewish musicians in New York City.
Music is a calling, divine or otherwise. For some, the calling is entirely
secular; for others, it is profoundly spiritual.

German musician and filmmaker Wendla Nölle travels to Manhattan and
introduces us to New Yorkâ?™s new generation of Jewish musicians. The film
(2007, 88min) features also the city of New York itself, its frenetic
multiplicity adding a vibrant backdrop to outstanding performances.

Please join tonite or in the following days for CINEMIX â?" International
Films @ Meta House. Best, your MH team

Love through the phone: Noel and Liza have courted each other for 6 months
via texts. The documentary by Richard Reyes (UK/Phillipines) intends to
show how a couple 7000 miles apart was brought together through modern
communication. Their marriage, however romantic, was born out of needs -
companionship and economics. Filmmaker will be present at the screening
(Q&A).

SAT, 21/03, 6.30 PM FREEDOM WRITERS
With approximately 50,000 Cambodians, Long Beach is home to the second
largest population of Cambodian immigrants outside Southeast Asia. Hilary

Dear Art Friends!

We'd like to invite you cordially for the opening of the new META HOUSE show
BANYAN PROJECT, tomorrow – Tuesday 10th, 6PM.

The exhibition shows a selection of paintings, sculptures, videos, photos
and installations by 50 artists from more than 20 countries, all inspired by
THE BANYAN TREE. They have been collected by the German media artist Alfred
Banze.

With the collected artworks, he organized numerous workshops for children
and young people in schools, galleries, cultural centers and artists'
studios abroad and at home in Germany. The exhibition displays both, the
original artworks and the workshop results by children and young people.

In April 2007, THE BANYAN TREE visited META HOUSE Cambodia the first time.
Workshops took place at NFC Phnom Penh and Wat Opod Project in Takeo, based
on artworks from Africa, Europe, America, Asia and the Pacific.

The popular Cambodian artist Srey Bandol contributed two of his drawings to
the project, they where "remixed" by students in Guyana, South-America. See
all of this in the exhibition at Meta House.

****

A BANYAN PARTY with a program of new „art remixes" and performances,
prepared together with children and young people from Wat Opod / Partners in
Compassion in Takeo, takes places at Saturday, March 14, 2009 starting 4 pm
@ META HOUSE
