Space Reader: Fill in The One Hour
2019-03-17 - 2019-04-28 | Ox Warehouse, 87-97 Av. do Cel. Mesquita, Santo Antonio, Macau, Macau, Macau
Space Reader was formed in 2016 by a group of young creative persons in Taiwan, aimed at carrying out collective creative experiments and research projects, with different types of creators being invited for each project. The concerned creative form is a combination of installation and performance, where an installation becomes not just an object to be appreciated, but an artwork that connects with the audience and performers, as well as with their actual shared experiences from impromptu interactions. The aim is to explore the possibilities of different read/response forms in the actual space and in the creator’s inner space through the lightest yet most spontaneous bodily actions.
American dancer and film director Yvonne Rainer said: “No dance work is a single idea or narrative, but rather a subtle blend of diverse elements, determining the nature of the whole experience.” This idea coincides with the concept of Space Reader’s projects. Each creator searches for the sketching of his/her body through space or objects. We are not dancers, but we dance in space. A performance installation or an installation performance? The exhibition includes works by artists Huang Xuan, Yao Min and Jiang Yu-Jie from Taiwan, and is curated by Cai Guo Jie.
When: March 17–April 28, 2019 (closed on Mondays)
Where: Post-Ox Warehouse Experimental Site, 15 R. do Volong, Macau

Occupying the Imaginary – Works by Alexandre Marreiros
2019-03-22 - 2019-04-26 | Macau Art Garden, AV. DO DR. RODRIGO RODRIGUES N. 265, MACAU, Macau, Macau
As described by Alice Kok, the curator, the Chinese title of the exhibition “想入非非” in which “非非” is a Buddhist term (in Sanskrit: naiva-saṃjñin-nāsaṃjñin). It describes a world in which the yogi in the ancient Indian cosmology survived after death. If one is to believe that consciousness continues in the world beyond, will it be a mysterious detachment between yin and yang?
Or will it be a chaos of nothingness? This space between existence and non-existence is precisely the creative territory of the architect and artist Alexandre Marreiros. As an architect, Alex describes his profession as rigorous and rigid. His work is to provide people a physical place to inhabit. It is a pragmatic process of problem solving. However, as an artist, Alex wants to go beyond the concrete. He likes to turn reality into a playground under his pen, with which he creates a space of eccentric images, positioning between the real and the imagined.
Tak Chun Macau Art Garden and AFA are the exhibition partners of The Script Road – Macau Literary Festival. To celebrate 21st March as World Poetry Day, A Multimedia Celebration, organized by the Script Road, will take place in Tak Chun Macau Art Garden.

The 37-meter-Companion, KAWS’ largest reclined sculptural endeavor to date is docking in Victoria Harbour during “Hong Kong Arts Month” from 22 to 31 March! Following the massive excitement generated in Seoul and Taipei, the KAWS:HOLIDAY installation will be making its third stop in Hong Kong, at the iconic Victoria Harbour!
Working once again with longtime collaborator AllRightsReserved, KAWS:HOLIDAY in Hong Kong is a 37-meter long monumental Companion, a signature character of KAWS’. Made in the new grey colorway, in a relaxed and reclined position, the KAWS:HOLIDAY Hong Kong is set to be shown at the end of this month, coinciding with the annual “Hong Kong Arts Month” where the city is filled with many vibrant art and cultural events. Presented by Asia Miles and fully supported by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, KAWS:HOLIDAY welcomes all local and international collectors, travellers, art-lovers and the like. and invites them to slow down, relax and enjoy the moment.
KAWS:HOLIDAY Hong Kong will go on display in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour from 22 to 31 March, where it can be viewed up close on the Central and Western District Promenade–Central Section. Considered one of the most relevant artists of his generation, KAWS engages audiences beyond the museums and galleries in which he regularly exhibits. His prolific body of influential work straddles the worlds of art and design to include paintings, murals, large-scale sculptures, street art, and graphic and product design. Over the last two decades KAWS has built a successful career with work that consistently shows his formal agility as an artist, as well as his underlying wit, irreverence, and affection for our times. He often draws inspiration and appropriates from pop culture animations to form a unique artistic vocabulary for his works across various mediums.

Now admired for his larger-than-life sculptures and hard-edge paintings that emphasize line and color, KAWS’ cast of hybrid cartoon and human characters are perhaps the strongest examples of his exploration of humanity. His refined graphic language revitalizes figuration with big, bold gestures and keen, playful intricacy. As seen in his collaborations with global brands, KAWS’ imagery possesses a sophisticated humor and reveals a thoughtful interplay with consumer products. Highly sought-after by collectors inside and outside of the art world, KAWS’ artworks, with their broad appeal, has made him a uniquely prominent artist in today’s culture.

Strolling and Feeling: Watercolour Paintings of Lai Ieng
2019-03-22 - 2019-06-16 | Macao Museum of Art, 237 Av. Xian Xing Hai, Macau, Macau
The Macao Museum of Art under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao Special Administrative Region Government has been dedicated to collecting, preserving, displaying and studying Macau art works, with the aim to promote local art to the public, illustrating its developments and the artistic spirit of different eras. Since its introduction to Macau, watercolour has been an important creative medium for local artists. Painters from different times have left us excellent works that have influenced later generations. Contemporary painter Lai Ieng is one of the best influencers, who, with his love for Macau landscapes and passion for painting, has offered the city a rich trove of artworks. This exhibition, Strolling and Feeling: Watercolour Paintings of Lai Ieng, features 32 of his landscape watercolours. By following the artist’s sketching footprints, through his keen observations and subtle brushstrokes, visitors can discover the beauty of Macau’s scenic small alleys as well as the charm of local life.
Lai Ieng is reputed in Macau, as well as in Mainland China and overseas, for his watercolours of portraits and landscapes. He has studied painting under Lok Cheong (1923–2006) and also under Cheong Io Sang and Tam Chi Sang (1920–2007) among others. Apparently he acquired his painting skills in Macau but in fact he benefited from the teachings by Wang Zhaomin (1908–2003), known as “poet of watercolour”, when he was studying with Wong Io Wa, Lio Man Cheong and Lok Hei in Guangzhou back in the 1980s.
Lai developed his art during China’s reform and opening up period, when the country opened to the outside world, enabling Macao’s art lovers to gradually take part in Mainland’s art development trends, see the world in a clearer light and have a better grasp of Chinese traditions, besides forming their own artistic views. In the process Lai has been examining the roles of art in people’s life. When he was sketching and painting by himself he also taught painting, and he and his students would accompany each other in art creation, in spiritual support for one another.
When: March 22–June 16, 2019
