Dear Art Friends!

We'd like to invite you cordially for the opening of the new META HOUSE show
BANYAN PROJECT, tomorrow - Tuesday 10th, 6PM.

The exhibition shows a selection of paintings, sculptures, videos, photos
and installations by 50 artists from more than 20 countries, all inspired by
THE BANYAN TREE. They have been collected by the German media artist Alfred
Banze.

With the collected artworks, he organized numerous workshops for children
and young people in schools, galleries, cultural centers and artists'
studios abroad and at home in Germany. The exhibition displays both, the
original artworks and the workshop results by children and young people.

In April 2007, THE BANYAN TREE visited META HOUSE Cambodia the first time.
Workshops took place at NFC Phnom Penh and Wat Opod Project in Takeo, based
on artworks from Africa, Europe, America, Asia and the Pacific.

The popular Cambodian artist Srey Bandol contributed two of his drawings to
the project, they where "remixed" by students in Guyana, South-America. See
all of this in the exhibition at Meta House.

A BANYAN PARTY with a program of new „art remixes" and performances,
prepared together with children and young people from Wat Opod / Partners in
Compassion in Takeo, takes places at Saturday, March 14, 2009 starting 4 pm
@ META HOUSE
