Madeleine de Langalarie

Founder ReCreation 2010

Salon des Créateurs 2011 et Venue Christie’s 2012 et 2015

Madeleine’s association with Cambodia spans several decades. Firstly as a journalist during the infamous reign of the Khmer Rouge, secondly as director for TV5 (francophone TV in Asia) for fifteen years, and finally as an advocate and promoter of the emerging Cambodia art scene throughout Asia and beyond.

Having personally witnessed the heyday of Cambodia prior to the Khmer Rouge and the devastation it left behind, she dedicated a large portion of her time and personal finances to aid Khmer artists to develop their craft and create venue for their work to be presented. From this passion, in 2010 she founded ReCreation, a "one-woman" organization, to umbrella the first-ever invitational exhibition of local artists under one roof. This premier exhibition was called "Salon des Createurs."

James Radnor
Event Coordinator / Writer

James arrived in Cambodia in November 2011 and quickly found much to admire in the national art scene, but soon realized it was not receiving the global attention that it deserved. He was confident that a re-emerging Cambodian arts tradition would only be strengthened and enriched if shared with the world.

In 2012, James had the pleasure to work with ReCreation during the first CHRISTIE’S charity auction, and now continues his involvement as a member of the board of ReCreation preparing for the return of CHRISTIE’S in March of 2014, and organizing the newly created three-month art exhibition, Galerie des Arts. James is passionate about supporting the fine arts and brings his experience in event planning, organizational know-how, a B.A. in English Literature from Queen’s University at Kingston, Canada, and a Diplôme d’Etudes Française from l’Université Paul Valéry, Montpellier, France to help shine a global spotlight on the works of a rich, innovative Cambodian arts tradition.
