SUMMARY:Soheap Pich | The Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:This speaker event was recorded live on Thursday\, February 1\, 2024 at 5:30 pm in the Michigan Theater\, Ann Arbor\, MI. \nSopheap Pich is widely considered to be Cambodia’s most internationally prominent contemporary artist. In 1979\, when the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia led to the ousting of the Khmer Rouge régime\, he fled with his family to Thailand\, spending four years in refugee camps before immigrating to the United States. Memories of traveling vast distances on foot and witnessing the devastation of war — broken bodies\, ravaged landscapes\, abandoned artillery\, ruined buildings\, and the breakdown of social and cultural institutions — underpin his early sculptural practice. While Pich studied painting\, earning a BFA from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst (1995)\, and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1999)\, he turned his attention to sculpture after returning to Cambodia in 2002 where he laboriously began working with local materials – bamboo\, old rafters\, rattan\, burlap\, beeswax\, broken utensils\, and earth pigments gathered from his local surroundings. Pich’s works have been collected and shown in many museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Guggenheim\, the Centre George Pompidou\, the Mori Art Museum\, M+\, and the National Gallery of Singapore\, as well as many international exhibitions including the 57th Venice Biennale (2017)\, Documenta 13 (2012)\, the 6th Asia Pacific Triennale (2009)\, the Setouchi Triennale (2022)\, and the Guangju Biennale (2023)\, among others. He lives and works in Phnom Penh\, Cambodia. \nLearn More>> \n\n\nThe Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series Spring 2024 Season\nThis spring\, the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series brings respected leaders and innovators from a broad spectrum of creative fields to Ann Arbor’s historic Michigan Theater for weekly in-person events. \nDetroit Public Television and PBS Books\, in partnership with the Stamps School\, will stream each week’s event Fridays at 8pm. \nSee the full schedule of events livestreamed by PBS Books here. \nSome programs may not be available online\, depending on artist requests.
