We would like to invite you to the
ON-GOING EXHIBITION
ART OF SURVIVAL
18 Cambodian and international artists reflect on the genocide.
This exhibition will be followed by an intercultural dialogue project with the German artists Horst Hoheisel and Sebastian Brand - in cooperation with the Goethe Institute Bangkok.
Art of survival - part II: Cambodia as the Unknown
The two German artists Mr. Horst Hoheisel (www.horsthoheisel.net) und Sebastian Brandt went for an expedition to the unknown Cambodia. What is the present cultural identity of Cambodian people? In which kind does the gruesome heritage of the Khmer Rouge effect on their daily life and behavior? For this, the Germans kindly appeal to you to bring some small personal items (together with a short written statement about the item) to the Meta House (also anonymously), to get a collection of items, which symbolize Cambodian life and identity. This will be the basement for Hoheisels and Brandts art installation opening at February 12th. Beside this, the artists also focus on their own alien point of view through the subject of that project.
Hoheisel focusses artistically on the German Holocaust and the National Socialist Movement. Jointly with Andreas Knits, he elaborated and produced new shapes of monuments, which became known as 'counter-monuments' (www.horsthoheisel.de). Besides the memory of open air landmarks, his works also belong to the patrimonies of several international museums (e.g. Museum of Modern Art, New York).
Horst Hoheisel presents his work and ideas on Tuesday (28th), from 7PM @ Meta House

"Triumph of the Will" by Leni Riefenstahl
Leni Riefenstahl's (in)famous propaganda film chronicles the 1934 Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg/Germany. Riefenstahl's techniques, such as moving cameras, the use of telephoto lenses to create a distorted perspective, aerial photography, and revolutionary approach to the use of music and cinematography, have continued to influence movies, documentaries, commercials and music videos to this day, even as it raises the question over the dividing line between art and morality.
