Dear META HOUSE friends!
We like to invite you for this Tuesday's NEW EXHIBITION OPENING @ 6PM:
Renowned Australian artist Stephen Eastaugh and Argentinean photographer
Carolina Furque drop into Meta House for KHMER OBSCURA - an exhibition of
mixed media work employing painting, sewing and photography techniques.
Touching upon Buddhism, bombs, architecture and wines with apparent
aphrodisiac qualities these two artists from very different parts of the
globe attempt to confuse, amuse, obscure and focus their energy in Phnom
Penh.
Please be our guest for this exciting show.
More infos on the bottom of this mail – as well as our event program for
this week. All the best from Meta House, Nico Mesterharm/Lydia Parusol
