Season of Cambodia
IN RESIDENCE:
Ten contemporary artists & one curatorial resident, multiple exhibitions and public programs
April 1–May 30, 2013
Co-Curated by Leeza Ahmady and Erin Gleeson
Presented by Season of Cambodia, A Living Arts Festival, New York City
IN RESIDENCE is a citywide visual arts program that centers the curatorial on artistic practice through two-month residencies for ten contemporary artists and one curator, alongside singular exhibitions and transdisciplinary public programs across 15 New York City arts institutions. By extending the artists' practices as ways of generating and reflecting both experience and knowledge, IN RESIDENCE offers audiences new perspectives on Cambodia's history and contemporaneity.
In the past decade, Cambodia's local and diaspora visual artists have been responsible for anchoring critical first-person interpretations of their histories from multiple angles, while responding to current urban and cultural change. Selected artists were born between 1970 and 1987, either during the U.S. military bombing campaign, the Khmer Rouge era, or Vietnamese occupation, and work across a range of mediums including drawing, sculpture, installation, photography, video, and performance.
Participating Artists: Khvay Samnang / Leang Seckon / Lim Sokchanlina / Sopheap Pich / Pete Pin / Amy Lee Sanford / Svay Sareth / Than Sok, Tith Kanitha / Vandy Rattana / Vuth Lyno / Yim Maline
IN RESIDENCE signature program is an unprecedented academic symposium: Contemporary Art in Cambodia: A Historical Inquiry co-organized with Cornell University at the Museum of Modern Art on April 21.
