Untitled 2017
Opening day May 28, 2017 at Sa Sa art project
In “Kraanh Norneal,” Eng Rithchandaneth, Mok Sombo, Sao Sreymao, Sok Chanrado and Tan Vatey present new works developed during their “Contemporary Art Class” that ran through 2016. Consisting of video, sculpture, installation and digital prints, the exhibiting artists together explore interrelated socio-political structures and anxieties of transforming Phnom Penh and Cambodia: privatisation of public spaces and resources, development politics, labour migration, public health, as well as resilience and survival strategies from micro-voices.

“Kraanh Norneal” is part of “Sensing the Capital” project which considers Phnom Penh as well as its human and cultural capital through urban research and artistic propositions that foreground human sensibility and consciousness and the city as a living and active agent. Through multiple exhibitions and events that take place at various Phnom Penh’s public, communal and private spaces, the project aims to engage with different groups of urban residents to sense the critical state of the city and its persistent resilience. “Sensing the Capital” is co-organized by Sa Sa Art Projects and the Vann Molyvann Project, and is supported by Khmer Architecture Tours, Space for Architecture Cambodia and World Monument Funds.
