"Tak Chun Art Garden" – Cai Guojie's Solo Exhibition
2019-09-21 - 2019-10-25
The “Half-Field Project” is an imaginative art project by artist Cai Guojie. Starting from the “Linear Store” implemented in Taipei in 2004, Cai Guojie borrowed the land development and sales model to sell the boundary line between the land sections in the world. It is a borderline that is a mixture between various “spaces of power” and “spaces of consumption”. In the game of selling the borderline, the “Half-Field Project” suggests a solemn concept: the space of power and the jurisdictional boundary. Different from his previous “Half-Field Project”, the artist’s current solo exhibition “Tak Chun Art Garden” in the Macau Art For All Society records and exhibits the continuous re-circulation process after the sale of “a land line” in front of the Tak Chun Macau Art Garden. “Tak Chun Art Garden” is a brand new attempt in the entire “Half-Field Project”.
The artist gives up the production control of the work and makes the work flow and spread in nature. As long as humans recognize the exchange of such forms, this project will continue to circulate over time, self-generating, never ending, and is “nomadic” in its nature: the flow of decentralization (de-centering) process and the breeding of aesthetic characteristics. This flowing line in “Tak Chun Art Garden” has become the artist’s determination to resist the structure of the old rule of space, “Deterritorialising” in nomadism, flowing and spreading. This is a new and profound aesthetic attempt.
Cai was born in Hsinchu, Taiwan. In 2010, he graduated from the Fine Arts Department of the Taiwan University of the Arts with a master’s degree. In 2018, he studied at the School of Intermedia Arts, China Academy of Art, a doctoral student. Now he lives and works in Macau and Hangzhou. He believes that art is to create a description of differences, and artists cannot give up the power of art in the name of art. The “Half-Field Plan” is a deed to mark the inter-space space and explores the concept of “power field” in art. With the series of contents of the “Half-Field Plan” the choice is power-giving; mutual understanding is the game of power. Cai Guojie’s focus is on the transfer of rights from “concepts” to “entities” and the ownership of the gaps between boundaries.
At this point, the “bound power” and the “power of desire” of the artificial boundary, these powers can help to oppose the “infinity” of the opposite – that is, the freedom we desire. He had his work exhibited in New York, Liverpool and Hampstead, France, Paris, Germany, Berlin, Italy, Florence, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, Portugal, Lisbon, Istanbul, Tokyo ,Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and other countries and places.

Made in China: Beijing Kitchen Hot Table
2019-09-22 - 2019-10-31 | Beijing Kitchen, Estrada do Istmo, Cotai Grand Hyatt, Macau, Macau, Macau, Macau
Beijing Kitchen, Grand Hyatt Macau’s signature Chinese restaurant, welcomes guests with its truly authentic and refined Northern Chinese cuisine. Inspired by the award-winning “Made in China” Chinese restaurant at Grand Hyatt Beijing, Beijing Kitchen’s interior is decked out in rich traditional Chinese décor with semi-open kitchens, which offer the truly Northern Chinese dining experience.
Beijing Kitchen has introduced a new home-style Beijing menu for guests to taste the signature dishes from Made in China. To bring in the most authentic taste of Beijing, Chef Sun has especially traveled back to his hometown during summer to look for the finest ingredients and seasonings. He has also visited local chefs for inspiration in the quest to take gourmet dining to a whole new level. One of these dishes is their pan-fried pancake with brown sugar and sesame sauce. Favored by many Beijing people, sesame paste is an indispensable sauce for Beijing cuisine, as simple as a steamed bun topped with sesame paste and sugar is the taste of home for many. Made with flour, sesame paste and brown sugar, the pan-fried pancake, brown sugar, sesame sauce is perfect for any time during the meal.
In authentic Beijing cuisine, sesame paste is often used in an appetizer with peppercorn flavored oil for enticing diners’ palates with an extra kick of flavor and aroma during hot summer days. By using tingly mustard and sesame sauce, Beijing Kitchen’s spinach, sesame sauce, and vinegar delicacy will surely stimulate every diner’s appetite. Next up is the braised bean curd with dried shrimp, one of the authentic home-cooked delights in Beijing. This dish is a medley of tofu, supreme chicken broth, and dried shrimp. The tofu is braised in supreme chicken broth with dried shrimp, ginger and spring onion, and served in a hot clay pot. The heat makes the tofu fully absorb the flavor of chicken broth and dried shrimp which guests would appreciate.

Another specialty is a succulent combination of the sweet and tender heart of Chinese cabbage then braised in a supreme broth with fresh chestnut for an optimal combination of tenderness and sweetness. Tasty, gorgeously saucy, simple yet richly layered with flavors, this dish is the epitome of indulgence and nutrition.
A signature staple in every household in Beijing and served with different condiments in different families, the restaurant’s handmade noodle with braised pork and sliced vegetables consists of three components: pork fried then simmered in a dark, thick and salty sauce, freshly cooked noodles and various types of vegetables. Using a secret ground bean sauce from a century-old store “Liu Bi Ju”, Chef Sun takes 30% of fatty pork and 70% of lean pork to create a rich and flavorsome meat sauce that is simmered with mushrooms for two hours. The savory meat sauce develops a thick consistency, a mahogany color and the flavors meld making this dish a fiery favorite. The noodles are best served with an array of condiments including sprouts, Chinese celery, soybean, cucumber, radish, cabbage, and spring onions.
