TOPAZ ARTS is pleased to present “Memory of Smoke” – a solo exhibition of new work by Cambodian artist Bandaul Srey, a 2011 Asian Cultural Council Starr Foundation Visual Arts Fellow and current artist-in-residence at Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s studios at Governors Island. On view from December 1, 2011 to January 15, 2012, an artist reception will be held on Saturday, December 3 from 3-6pm. At 6pm, musical guests The Noah Kaplan Quartet perform from their new recording Descendants.

The exhibition will be accompanied by drawings from Global Children’s Art Programme and photographs by Timothy Lomas – a project that took place at Phare Ponleu Selpak, where Bandaul Srey is Professor and Director of the Visual Arts School, a community-based school for music, visual arts, and performing arts he helped found in his hometown in Battambang Province, Cambodia.

Following the reception on Saturday, December 3 at 6pm, The Noah Kaplan Quartet will perform in celebration of their new recording, Descendants, on HatHut Records. Featuring: Noah Kaplan (saxophone); Giacomo Merega (electric bass); Joe Moffett (trumpet); Ben Hall (drums). Accomplished musicians, The Noah Kaplan Quartet has been described as, “The transparency of the quartet’s intent and mode of operation allow hearing inside the music, from which details of descent and association emerge. In response, memory, and imagination, memory’s mirror, suggest familiar analogies…” – Art Lange.
