Reflecting the face of a culture

The Arts Lounge, Hotel de la Paix, is pleased to present Reflection an exhibition of ink paintings by Denis Min-Kim, opening on 28 June 2007.

Reflection, Min-Kim's second exhibit in Cambodia, is a series of black ink paintings and sketches that explore the relationship between individuality, history and culture; a concept of personal intrigue for the young French-Khmer artist. "The attitude, manner and position of a person reveal where we come from and where we are going to; we each hold our own heritage," says Min-Kim, who studied at the Ecole Supérieure d'Art de Marseille and has come to Cambodia to explore the nature of cultural diversity through art.

The series of paintings and sketches are based on the observation of people within and responding to their environment. "In every market, every street, every village, people here are eating, working, speaking Khmer culture; a culture that many visitors look for not in the living people but in the stone of an ancient Angkor," suggests Min-Kim.Using photographic images to capture a moment in the lives of his subjects, Min-Kim's work reveres a certain realistic representation that nonetheless submits to the interpretive hand of the artist, creating what he calls "a performance on canvas".

Min-Kim's portraitures are marked by a fascination with the detail of skin, his brush scrutinizing every crease or wrinkle, every mark or inconsistency – the texture of time passing or perhaps the uncertainty of youth. Each canvas depicts a culture that is intimate yet foreign, open to be explored, contemplated and understood as the face of a people steeped in their ancient heritage.

Reflection will be on show until 08 August 2007 at The Arts Lounge. Situated within Hôtel de la Paix, The Arts Lounge is a living space dedicated to the celebration of Cambodia's rich cultural heritage. It represents a commitment to the country's dynamic present and offers a stage for its creative future.

About The Arts Lounge

Connecting international visitors to an experience of local culture, the Hotel de la Paix is proud to present a selection of these sculptures from the 12th of October to the 22nd of November 2006 at the Arts Lounge.

The Arts Lounge offers an ambient and thought provoking setting, providing guests and visitors the opportunity to celebrate the spirit of Cambodia, both past and present, traditional and contemporary. Visitors will take with them a deeper understanding of Khmer culture and an appreciation of Khmer heritage within the global context. The Arts Lounge is fast becoming a cornerstone in Hotel de la Paix's commitment to respectful tourism and contribution to the development of the local community.

The 18-room Shinta Mani Hotel also located in Siem Reap is a sister hotel to de la Piax and both hotels are operated by Bed Management Company of Bangkok, Thailand, which is widely recognized as a creative and successful developer of independent boutique hotels and destination restaurants and bars in Southeast Asia. For reservations contact: book@hoteldelapaixangkor.com or book online at www.hoteldelapaixangkor.com

Ta Prohm: A Glorious Era in Angkor Civilisation

A l'occasion de la publication du livre / On the recent publication of the book

Ta Prohm: A Glorious Era in Angkor Civilisation

Vous êtes cordialement invités à sa présentation informelle par ses co-auteurs:
You are cordially invited to attend its informal presentation by its co-authors:

H. Exc. Shri P K Kapur
Deputy Director General, Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA)

Prof. Sachchidanand Sahai
Fellow, Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Simla.

« Ta Prohm: A Glorious Era in Angkor Civilisation » " (White Lotus, Bangkok) offers a new look at the biography of Jayavarman VII, focusing on the ideology of abnegation followed by this Angkorian monarch. With his well-developed policy of welfare, the king surpassed the contemporary European kings. The monograph shows how Ta Prohm was intricately connected with the royal welfare programs, since its foundation stele describes in details the assistance given to the hospitals from the royal treasury.

The monograph presents the temple of Ta Prohm in the context of Cambodian history, as the first dated temple of the reign of Jayavarman VII (1186), symbolizing the perfect wisdom in Khmer civilization with the mother of the king represented as Prajnaparamita, the mother of the Buddha.

The monastic and spiritual life at the temple has been graphically reconstructed through a closer study of the inscriptions of Ta Prohm. Impressive annual and daily grants offered by the royal treasury to sustain the spiritual life of the kingdom have been meticulously detailed.

A systematic study of restoration policy has been made in the context of over a hundred years of practical experience at the sites of Angkor. It has been argued that Ta Prohm can be a useful test case for the refinement of ideology and techniques of restoration based on the criteria of authenticity. This first monograph-length study of the most enigmatic temple of Angkor complex offers an indispensable reading, both for the visitors, and specialists, interested in unlocking the puzzles of Angkor art.

Shri Pradeep Kumar Kapur, a career diplomat of the Indian Foreign Service, is well-known for his deep interest in the theory and practice of political, economic and cultural diplomacy. He has worked in diverse areas in the Ministry of External Affairs and in the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. He has also made significant contributions in expanding the scope and content of India's external relations during his postings in the Indian Embassies/High Commissions in Spain, Tanzania, France, Nepal and Cambodia. During his tenure as Ambassador of India to Cambodia, Kapur took up the famous, but extremely difficult site for restoration of the Ta Prohm temple monument in Angkor, as a test case of cultural diplomacy between India and Cambodia.

Sachchidanand Sahai is an alumnus of Banaras Hindu University where he studied Indian and Southeast Asian Art and Archaeology. Specializing in the Khmer studies at the University of Paris, Sorbonne (1965-69) under the supervision of eminent French savant George Coedes, Sahai produced a pioneering doctorial thesis, published by the EFEO in 1971. Since, he authored many publications. The founder editor of the Southeast Asian Review, he has edited and published thirty volumes of this journal since 1976.

As Research Professor at Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, New Delhi (1988-90) he set up the Southeast Asia division of the centre. Recipient of French government scholarship, Fulbright post-doctoral Fellowship, Visiting Fellowship at Australian National University and Maison de Science de l' Homme (Paris), Sahai is currently Fellow, Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Simla.

			Phnom Penh, samedi matin, six heures, la gare ferroviaire s'éveille. Sur les quais les vendeurs ne sont pas nombreux. Une vendeuse de soupe de riz, une vendeuse de gâteaux, cigarettes et boissons. Le train se remplit doucement, très doucement. On est loin de l'affluence des années 90 qui remplissait des trains de plus de quinze wagons. Aujourd'hui c'est un train court constitué de trois wagons voyageurs et trois wagons de marchandises. Au bord du quai, Em Sopheap se souvient. Aujourd'hui en retraite l'ancien ouvrier de la gare de Phnom Penh lisse sa petite moustache au fur et à mesure que les souvenirs remontent. « Dans les années soixante, le train s'appelait l'Autorail. Il partait le matin de Phnom Penh à 6h20 et arrivait à 10h36 à Battambang après quatre ou cinq arrêts uniquement. ça allait vite, bien plus vite qu'aujourd'hui. Au même moment un autre train faisait le chemin en sens inverse pour rejoindre Phnom Penh. Il y avait du trafic, vraiment. Aujourd'hui, il n'y a plus qu'un train par semaine. » A six heures cinquante deux, la locomotive entre en gare. Elle s'accroche lourdement aux wagons de marchandises et de voyageurs. Quelques minutes plus tard, le chef de gare donne le signal. Il est six heures cinquante six du matin, le train se met tranquillement en route, indolent et branlant, il lui faudra environ douze heures pour rejoindre Battambang… Stéphane Janin

News from Mitch about things to do in Phnom Penh:

------------------------

Avoiding trademarks and building networks. Let's happy.

Hi all,

Well the fantastic Ally who was the first in with last week's puzzle (The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover) would like to request something like an anti-rain dance. Sun dance? Moon dance? Maybe even a snow dance. Anything to fit in with World Environment Day yesterday. Theatregames. The lovely improvisation performance exercise, where you get up an make a fool of yourself in teams. If you're keen, interested, repulsed, or just plain bored on a Sunday afternoon, come down to Gasolina this Sunday afternoon to have a relaxing afternoon, and a few drinks, mingled with a bit of Theatregames. Three parts to this week's subject. A BIG plug next week to anyone who can work out my references for each of them. Or failing that, the first person to work out 2 of them. Or even the person who makes me laugh the most if you have NO idea what I'm talking about.

See you out and about!
