Exhibitions

When Reyum was established in late 1998, few spaces existed in Phnom Penh for mounting exhibitions. Those venues which did show work tended either to offer permanent exhibitions of art objects, or to provide repetative commercial paintings and sculptures for the tourist market. Within this context, Reyum decided to establish a space in which a changing series of exhibitions could address a wide variety of topics, not only in the visual arts, but within broader realms of culture and society.

Art exhibitions organised at Reyum aim to foster creativity and critical thinking while providing contemporary artists with the opportunity to explore and create new work. Reyum actively works with artists to conceptualise and create specific exhibitions which take up an idea or contemporary issue which we hope will be inspiring and provocative for local audiences.

In addition to art exhibitions, Reyum organises an ongoing series of more didactic exhibitions on history, culture, and the arts. These exhibitions result from our research projects, and are presented in an easily accessible visual form in order to offer the general public the opportunity to learn and share information.
