"Tith Kanitha and Yim Maline" Transparent Studio
Bose Pacia
This event has ended.
In collaboration with the Season of Cambodia In Residence visual art program,Transparent Studio at Bose Pacia is pleased to announce the current artists-in-residence, Tith Kanitha and Yim Maline. Both artists will be treating the studio as an experimental space to explore their materials and methods. Kanitha is driven by process, form and intuition while using various media including her body to explore pressing social issues. Alternatively, Maline’s work moves back and forth between works on paper and sculpture, using graphite, colored pencils, clay and lace, to reflect on her childhood and legacies of civil unrest.

About Transparent Studio at Bose Pacia, NY:
Launched in January 2012, Transparent Studio is a artist studio program founded by Bose Pacia.Emerging and mid career artists are chosen for the studio program through a submissions process based on project proposal and artistic merit. Residents are provided with a studio in the main gallery space for a 1-3 month period. By turning the transitional gallery space into temporary artist studios on the street-level in an active arts neighborhood, we are hoping to allow for an atmosphere of engagement and conversation around the creative process. During the program, the public is invited to interact with the artist throughout their creative process allowing exchange and collaborative relationships.
