Explore the intricate intersection of Buddhism and Cambodian modern life through Than Sok's solo exhibition.

ទេយ្យទាន | Teyyatean spans 2 decades of work by Cambodian artist Than Sok, regionally renowned for his richly conceptual and experimental contemporary practice. The exhibition explores the interplay between religious practices and today's world, considering political, economic and social contexts. From a gracefully critical, observational standpoint, the artist prompts reflection on the need for ritual, belief and sacrifice, while avoiding any sense of opposition.

Teyyatean, meaning 'giving alms,' examines this evolving concept at the heart of Buddhist practice. The artist's earlier works reflect his personal experience serving in a monastery from 1992 to 1993. His practice has evolved to critically investigate materials and rituals of spiritual practices, employing symbolism and decontextualisation of religious objects. More recently, his work delves into contemporary issues and Cambodia's recovery from trauma and political disruption following the Pol Pot era and the Khmer Rouge.

Teyyatean presents works across video, sculpture, installation, drawing and painting. Featuring earlier ephemeral works recommissioned for the exhibition alongside newly commissioned pieces, the exhibition offers profound insights into the central place of Buddhism in southeast Asia and its transformation in the modernising world.
