Rufa Exhibition of Acheivements 2013
On March 8, Minister of Culture and Fine Arts, Him Chhem, attended the Exhibition of Achievements and the Future featuring design by students of the Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA).
This exhibition presented works they had produced during the past year. The works on display are creative and designs fusing classic and modern concepts for future innovation. The reveal RUFA students’ dream to the public.
This is the first time that Cambodia’s only public fine art university has brought together works form all five of its separate schools. The idea came from a group of students that call themselves “ Reeksai” (Spread) lead by Lor Vuthy, a fourth year architecture student.
Lor Vuthy
“I organized this exhibition to increase creativitiy and develop and preserve the work of students in the arts, especially to increase the friendship among the students and between the students and society. It’s related to the national culture. As I observe it, young Cambodian people now do not really know what Cambodian art is.”
Sob Dsakra, Undergraduate student
“There are a lot of students, they come and meet each other. For example me, I start to meet new friends. We have been studying in the same university for four years but we do not know each other. Through this, it makes people communicate with each other. I think it is very good to help us understand each other, learn from each other’s work and explore more ideas.”
Pech Sarat, Former student
“During my generation we were just writing books and putting them in the library. And future featuring designs by students of the Royal University of Fine Arts. But nowadays the students can show their work to the public and I get very excited about that, to see their work, so I encourage the Khmer kids to come and learn more about our art.”
Kasy Voleak, Cambodian Mekong University’s student
“I think this exhibition is great. There is a lot of works and they are so different from each other. It gives me an idea of what I can do and what I cannot do so it helps me to understand myself.”
Vuth told the Phnom Penh Post that in the lead up to the exhibition, the students faced many cost related problem that forced them to postpone the exhibition many times. “Since we had the idea about this exhibition, we faced a lot of problems because it is the first time for me and all the students in the University of fine arts. Because we have the five different schools, we have a little bit of conflict about how we thought about it. But I tried to solve that. The university just gave us support but the students did everythning by themselves.”
The Exhibition has successfully run for three days already with 2,000 people attending. The exhibition feature both physical works designed by students and performance reflecting the talents and skill passed down through lecturers who survived the killing fields during the Khmer Rouge.
The Royal University of Fine Arts was established in 1918 by the colonial French governor who then effectively ruled Cambodia. But it was closed during the Khmer Rouge regime. Today, the university has more than 800 students studying from all over the country.

RUFA Expo on PPP (8 April 13)
RUFA students put on show
8 April 2013
On a sweltering 39-degree day, the high-ceilinged, chequerboard-tiled studios of the Royal University of Fine Arts don’t provide much respite from the heat, but for 150 visitors crowded around the students’ drawings and building models, it is barely a distraction.
Over three days, more than 2,000 people visited the vibrant turn-of-the-century grounds for a one-stop showcase of new work from the Kingdom’s oldest public arts college.
The open day was the first collective exhibition from the university in at least a decade, organisers say, and was entirely student-led.
“I care about our culture and the students’ ability,” said fourth-year architecture student Lor Vuthy, 23, who initiated the exhibition. The university doesn’t have a student union, but it does have elected student representatives, who ran the idea past the school management and were met with support from their teachers. More than 100 volunteers helped run the event, with local sponsors providing money for things like lights and staging equipment for the night time music and dance performance.
Architecture lecturer Dr Tang Sochet Vitou, who studied at RUFA in the 1990s, said to his knowledge there had only been one other similar “little” exhibition in the recent history of the school and that he was delighted to see the students take on the project, which ran from 8am to 8pm every night.
Yesterday, the final of the program, saw students from across the faculties of Archaeology, Architecture, Fine Arts, Choreo-graphy and Music display their work in the open outdoor corridors and elegant shuttered classrooms. In a shady vestibule, an acoustic duo sang gently, while nearby third year archaeology students manned tables exhibiting sixth century pots and ancient bricks. Competing with their fellow fine arts and architecture students, with their miniature buildings and large canvases, archaeology might be thought harder to make come alive on a display table. But an enormous skeleton of a trei reach fish, found in the Tonle Sap, creates interest and leads to a discussion over its endangered status.
Greeting visitors at the entrance to the exhibition, first-year architecture students Yeng Serey Roth Peng Kim Cchon use their English skills to explain their university’s five curricula to foreign visitors, before guiding them into the hive of activity that is the architecture show room.
Across the hall, visitors and fellow students teem around intricate scale-model houses and wild developments. A pink-marshmallow-coloured children’s play centre inspired by Super Mario Bros sits next to a new space-age airport for Sihanoukville and a restaurant-cum-bookshop, shaped to look like a coffee cup.
On the walls, points out Vitou, one can see the progression of the draftsmanship: from traditional decorative designs learned in first year, to the third years’ accomplished architectural drawings of Angkorian temples and clay carvings. Designs for both are extraordinarily detailed − the ancient and modern mix sit side-by-side in apparent harmony. Across the courtyard in the fine art room, a mass dot drawing of the late King Father Norodom Sihanouk contrasts with colourful impressionistic portraits.
The three-day event, which began on Friday, has been a success, declared Roth and “the mission” is to throw open the doors of the school in a similar way next year.
“We wish to create this exhibition every year – and we want to make it better!” she said.
