Organization
Sa Sa Art Projects
Sa Sa Art Projects began as an artist-run space for experimental art in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.[1][2] The Stiev Selapak collective founded it in 2010 as a not-for-profit space.[1] It started in an apartment in the White Building.[3] The Biennale of Sydney's 2018 participant page named Khvay Samnang, Lim Sokchanlina and Vuth Lyno as its active co-founders, supported by former students and local residents.[1]
Art at the White Building
In his 2020 essay, Vuth Lyno recalled art classes, workshops, residencies, events and collaborations at the White Building.[3] He described a café converted into a community cinema, performances in the street and on the rooftop, and a wall where residents displayed photographs.[3] Clare Olivares, who took part in the Pisaot residency from mid-September to mid-October 2015, held children's drawing classes and photo-transfer workshops there.[2] The White Building was demolished in 2017.[1]
Biennale of Sydney, 2018
The Biennale's 2018 participant page credited Sa Sa Art Projects with maintaining the White Building Art Archive, an online collection of visual and audio material by students and former residents, alongside works made with visiting artists.[1] Its presentation included archive videos and photographs from Khvay Samnang's Human Nature series (2010 to 2011).[1] The Biennale described Vuth Lyno's Light Voice as a light and sound installation, and Playing Archive as narratives assembled from archive material and other online content by collaborators, artists, students and residents.[1] Pen Sereypagna's Genealogy of Bassac mapped changes to the White Building and included interviews with three former residents.[1]
