Here at Jinja.apsara.org we like to stay at the cutting edge of international trends. Dengue Fever is a rock band with a Cambodian twist. They take their licks from the 'Cambodia Rocks' collection, and most of their songs are in Khmer. They play both in Long Beach Khmer nightclubs and the local LA music scene. You may recognize their music in the credits of Matt Dillon's latest film, City of Ghosts. More at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/denguefevernews/

All comics in Cambodia could pretty much be called small press. During the Socialist time there was a small but measurable samizdat small press, usually escapist in theme. (Not so much comics or zines as novels & short stories, rented out.) If you read French, try Olivier de Bernon's ' Literature of the Years of Miseries ' . http://ccfkh.org/Boudet/rapports/bernon.php If not try Altavista or Google for an imperfect translation.

Visions of the Future An exhibition of contemporary Cambodian art Opening at Reyum on December 31st, 2002 5-8:30 pm Reyum is pleased to announce the opening of an exhibition entitled "Visions of the Future". About nine months ago, we met with a group of artists and decided to take the Future as a theme for this group exhibition. The works on display at Reyum, beginning on December 31st, present the results of this collaboration project. A wide range of drawings, paintings and installations consider the future of Cambodia as well as the concept of the future in general. The exhibiting artists use a variety of styles and forms through which to represent their individual visions of the future. An accompanying 92 page full color catalogue offers examples of the work on display, artist statements about their work, artist biographies, and a short reflective essay by Dr. Ashley Thompson. Artists presenting work in the exhibition include Khun Sovanrith, Chan Lay Heng, Chan Vitharin, Chhoeun Rithy, Chim Sothy, Duong Saree, Tum Saren, Pech Song, Prom Vichet, Phy Chan Than, Vann Nath, Venn Savat, Sa Piseth, Say Saret, Soeung Vannara, Suos Sodavy, Som Sophon, Svay Ken, Hen Sophal, Long Sophea and Ok Bunnarath. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
