HCMC – ‘Prod / Ponder’ Presents Than Sok

Sat 30 Aug 2014, 4 pm
San Art Studio

From the organizer:

You are invited to an artist talk with Than Sok. Than Sok has been invited to Ho Chi Minh City for one month for ‘Prod/Ponder’ – an artist-in-residency program as part of ‘Conscious Realities’. His artwork, ’To Give is to Receive I’ is currently on view as part of the exhibition ‘Conjuring Capital’.

Than Sok is an artist and performer from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Fascinated by spiritual ritual, its structures and meanings, wary of how contemporary social attitude is changing understandings of what it means to ‘believe’, Than Sok will unpack his artistic practice that encompasses installation, drawing, performance, video and sculpture. He will also share his experiences of the past month, working with the Khmer/Vietnamese community of Ho Chi Minh City, to finally conclude his presentation with a special performance!!

Language: This event will be conducted in Khmer, Vietnamese and English – we thank you in advance for your patience with this necessary translation!
