The 2020 Macau New Woman Contemporary Art Exhibition – Sen-SEX-bility and Inter-SEX-tuality is organized by the New Woman Development Association of Macao and co-organized by 480.0 Gender & Art Space (Hong Kong). “Sen-SEX-bility”, is using our ability to be aware and to perceive, to feel the initial collision of “sex” that brings to our sense and find the purest consciousness that “sex” brings to the human.
“Inter-SEX-tuality”, is the cognition of sexual sensation, sexual perception, sexual memory, sexual imagination, and sexual thinking. As life blooms and withers, the growth of each life is a unique blooming process, and we as the host of these blooming lives, let us enlighten the desire to gain knowledge and become an “Inter-SEX-tual” person. “Inter-SEX-tuality” is about exploring through messages from human senses to learn about “sex” with our cognitive ability.
This exhibition brings together a group of outstanding new women artists from the Guangdong – Hong Kong – Macau Greater Bay Area. They will create their work under the theme “Sen-SEX-bility and Inter-SEX-tuality” with different media, materials, and expressions to present the feeling and desire for knowledge about “sex”, and provide an appropriate and reasonable understanding and communication of “sex” with the audience.
No matter an adult or a child, nobody should be ashamed to discuss about “sex”. We may have a more open attitude and use an artistic perspective to appreciate, cognize, understand, feel, and share about the intimate relationship between “sex” and humans.
There will be a series of interactive activities during the exhibition, including the opening ceremony, Art Jam, artist’s sharing session, workshops, and guided tours, to strengthen the audience’s understanding of the theme, the artists and their work, as well as trigger reflection from different perspectives.
Meanwhile, there will be an interactive area, to encourage the audience to mingle with art and be part of the exhibition by creating their own work under the theme. Events include an art jam session improvisation–with artists Frog Wong, Heidi Ng, Kit Lee, and Weng Ian Tai. There’s also a gesso carving workshop with artist In Kuan Fan and a talk by artist MJ Lee entitled “My Silence Is Your Comfort – Sharing of gender conflicts in South Korea and gender situation in Macau”.
