72-13
Seams of Change focuses on the theme of clothing and the care of the self. It shows what people wore, how they sewed clothes, and how they took care of their bodies more than one hundred years ago, before the arrival of “modern” commodities. The exhibition illuminates a time when people generally turned to their immediate environment for what they needed. The focus is on the clothing of ordinary people rather than on the special clothing of the rich or the royal.
Exhibits at this exhibition will include line drawings of the clothes the Cambodian people wore in the 19th and 20th century, photographs of these clothes as well as the different types of cosmetics used during that period. From the exhibition, we will begin to see the politics and history of Cambodia unfold.
Seams of Change was invited by Ong Keng Sen to be part of The Flying Circus Project (Special Edition 2005, Yokohama) which was presented at the Yokohama International Triennale of Contemporary Art (September – December 2005), in Yokohama, Japan.
About 72-13
72-13 is the new home of TheatreWorks. A converted rice warehouse, the space is flexible enough to be a gallery, a cinema and a theatre. Its primary purpose will be to encourage collaborations, house residencies from creatives around the world and to encourage hybrid creative expressions from young Singaporeans.
TheatreWorks, responding to the needs of the creative scene in Singapore, has consciously created 72-13 to have a wider and a more inclusive agenda. This the the first year of the soft opening of 72-13.

Architectural Advisor Hok Sokol (left), translator Rith (middle) and Animation Teacher Pou Sopheak have an 'animated discusssion' about their locally taught course.
How do you build a house using 'point and click' instead of 'wood and brick'?
More curious students, art fans and animators showed up, and there was a lot of discussion about what 'should' and 'could' happen next. Plenty of curiosity from both foreigners and locals alike.
Alas it's only three days, just to get things moving. We're already discussing plans for another showing in the future.
The exhibition is finished, the animation is just beginning!

university buildings in Phnom Penh
We will again visit three remarkable, 1960s education campuses on the Russian Boulevard (the airport road) and be able to compare and contrast each:
1) The Institute of Technology of Cambodia, by Soviet designers (elegant, functional, abstract).
2) The Institute of Foreign Languages by Vann Molyvann (expressive, dynamic, metaphorical) featured in the New York Times magazine last year.
3) The Royal University of Phnom Penh by Leroy and Mondet (courageous, derivative, flawed).
........................................................................
There will be morning and afternoon tours, guided by architecture students Suon Ratana and Sim Sitho.
Morning tours: Start at 8.30am, return by around 11.45pm
Afternoon tours: Start at 2.30pm, return by around 5.45pm

Sunday 19th, 6:30 pm: come by to see Animation Teacher Pou Sopheak and Architectural Advisor Hok Sokol talk about the local Heritage Watch project to model a traditional house. Tom will also be on hand to answer additional questions. 
Above: Vuth and Samphos show one of the many digital prints you can see at Le Popil Photogallery.

Visualising Angkor Day One: Video Screening
A great mix of people as we introduced the Australian and Cambodian projects. We all know how the temples look now, but how did they look ages ago? And what kinds of communities surrounded them?  |  |
| Monash University Lecturer Tom Chandler giving certificates to local animation students. | Animation teacher Pou Sopheak (left) and Architectural Advisor Hok Sokol (right) discuss the house model the class has made. |

| Lots of young students as well as architects, archaeologists, aspiring animators and art fans. | Translator Rith helps Tom summarize his work 'Virtual Heritage' to our bilingual crowd. |
These models allow demonstration of different archaeological ideas, and can be changed to reflect different theories. What we have here are some first steps towards developing more detailed examples.

Angry Skies
PRESS RELEASE
The Department of Sociology, Center for Community Engagement, Department of Asian
and Asian American Studies and the Center for Asian Pacific American Studies, the
Department of Film and Electronic Arts, and the Cambodian Student Society at
California State University, Long Beach
Proudly present: A Film Premiere
Angry Skies: A Cambodian Journey
Special guest: Dr. Blake Kerr, Writer and Producer
- FREE TO THE PUBLIC -
Date: March 17, 2006 (Friday at 6:30 p.m.)
Location: CSULB Campus Psychology Building Lecture Hall Room 150

(suggested parking lots #4, #5, and #6)
The Angry Skies is a documentary film that follows Dr. Blake Kerr, a New York
physician who travels to Cambodia to investigate one of the worst crimes perpetrated by
a country on its own people, the killing of over 2 million people under Pol Pots Khmer
Rouge Revolution. After infiltrating a renegade band of Khmer Rouge soldiers, Dr. Kerr
gains unprecedented access to the living architects of the Khmer Rouge Revolution,
including Nuon Chea, Brother Number Two. Interviews with human rights activists,
survivors of Tuol Sleng, and Supreme Court Judges, as well as Pol Pots telegraph
operator, child soldiers, Khmer Rouge officers and surgeons reveal how the Khmer
Rouge utilized the hatred from U.S. bombing to rise from 300 soldiers in 1968 before
U.S. bombing, to over 70,000 soldiers in 1973, enough to take over the country. The
Angry Skies offers strong parallels to current U.S. foreign policy and occupation of Iraq.
