SUMMARY:“Women in a Foreign Land—A Saiyin Project” Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:“Women in a Foreign Land” is an ongoing project. Saiyin conceived the idea in Shanghai where he pursued his studies\, and upon his return to Zhuhai after graduation\, he was one step closer to realizing it. A self-conscious person who also always keeps a keen eye on the people and things around\, Saiyin naturally chooses to follow immigrants in Macao in the new era – in this case\, women who immigrated to Macau from mainland China and Portugal – with a focus on immigration and identity issues. \nHow are the lives of immigrants in Macau today? Centring around this\, the artist develops works based on the stories of two women who respectively emigrated from mainland China and Portugal to Macau. How did those events happen in this land\, Asia’s Las Vegas\, and how did their daily lives and emotional lives connect with Macau? \nThis time at the Ox Warehouse Experimental Site\, the “Women in a Foreign Land” project is presented for the first time as an exhibition\, through video\, photography and audio works\, which include self-narratives as well as shots of the women’s daily life spaces. The exhibited works explore the everyday and love lives of these “strangers” in a fast-growing city in the mighty torrent of history. The exhibition is curated by Noah Ng and Gong Siyue. \nWhen: March 20–May 17\, 2020 \nWhere: Ox Warehouse\, 15 Rua do Volong\, GF\, 1F & 2F Gallery\, Macau \nHow much: Free admission \nFor more information\, call +853 2853 0026\, send an email to oxwarehouse@gmail.com or check their Facebook event page

SUMMARY:Who Heeds a Man Who Sits and Wails out in the Cold? – Illustrations and Drawings by Rui Rasquinho
DESCRIPTION:Taipa Village Cultural Association exclusively showcases an illustration and drawing exhibition entitled “Who heeds a man who sits and wails out in the cold?” presented by Macau-based Portuguese artist Rui Rasquinho. The selected works for this exhibition are based on a series of illustrations published in Hoje Macau newspaper (a local Portuguese language newspaper) during a seven-year span\, from 2012 to 2019. \nThe story behind the scenes is that Rasquinho embarked on a long-term graphic commitment based on a weekly assignment\, which was to illustrate translated scholarly texts (poems\, philosophies\, critical essays) from several controversial Chinese literati\, such as Li He (790-816 AD)\, Wang Chong (27-100 AD)\, Huainanzi (139 BC) and Wen Tzu (742 AD). \nThe title of this exhibition hails from the stanza of a poem entitled “Let Wine Be Brought In!” written by Li He. The illustrations and drawings reflect Rui’s artistic skills\, in which he found realization in pure abstraction registered in Chinese Orihon style watercolor books (originating from the Tang dynasty\, 618-908 AD). \nWhen: April 8–July 3\, 2020 \nWhere: Taipa Village Art Space\, 10 Rua Dos Clérigos\, Taipa \nHow much: Free admission \nFor more information\, call +853 2857 6118 or send an email to info@taipavillagemacau.org.mo

SUMMARY:Artist-in-Residence Program: Wonderland
DESCRIPTION:Ox Warehouse invited two Korean artists MJ Lee and Maing Heewon to engage in our Artist-in-Residence Program\, investigate on the obscure stories of Macau. The two have acquainted when they were studying at the sculpture department of Sunhwa Arts School; now both came to Macau\, they are baffled by the complexity and chaos in this land. \nMJ Lee has taken interest in the street shrines across Macau\, when she finds the statues appealing in their vibrant colors and elegant postures. At the entrance of the exhibition\, MJ Lee builds an altar with a mixture of clay and gold leaf; its structure breaking\, scattering into the mud and golden paint that has made up of the components. With this creation\, MJ Lee sets out to study superstitious behaviors\, giving way to the temporality of all existence\, as she proposes: What is that we are searching in life? \nIn other ways\, Maing Heewon is inspired by the sauna facilities in Macau. The naked bodies of Maing’s Sauna girls extrapolated as symbols of desire; at this time\, the Birth of Venus has been reinterpreted\, through her own understandings\, to churn out in a line of delicate\, sculptural bodies; placed on numbered pedestals\, they are offered for observation\, as though an endless row of beauty pageant contestants. The images of voluptuous female bodies are printed on thermal paper\, which fine texture recalls the smoothness of skin\, mapping the transformation of desire and the fleeting impressions of the city. \nIn this Wonderland\, their outlandish perspective allows us to see Macau in a different light\, as they point to the burning issues of modern insanity. Fei In Leong is the exhibition’s curator. \nWhen: April 17–May 24\, 2020 \nWhere: Ox Warehouse\, 15 Rua do Volong\, GF\, 1F & 2F Gallery\, Macau \nHow much: Free admission \nFor more information\, call +853 2853 0026\, send an email to oxwarehouse@gmail.com or check the event’s Facebook page

SUMMARY:Art Power Jamming – Hidden Corner
DESCRIPTION:Ark-Association of Macau Art (AAMA) exclusively presents its annual art program entitled Art Power Jamming\, under the theme of “Hidden Corner”. The program\, which is sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Bureau\, features three unique shows presented by three distinguished Macau talents\, namely local artist Yaya Vai\, talented handicrafter\, Bezalel Ho\, and Vanda Chan Ka Ian\, an illustrator. The three shows take place from May until August\, 2020 at Café Voyage. \nThe purpose of this annual art exhibition is to bring together the different styles of artists\, regardless of their genders\, ages\, nationalities\, and places of origin. These artists will create their art productions using their unique styles\, methods\, medium\, but focusing on a common theme. The audience of the exhibition will experience different feelings as they view and appreciate these artworks. \nThe theme of this year\, “Hidden Corner”\, is inspired by the multicultural background of Macau. The city is a Sino-Portuguese cultural hub that has transformed itself from a traditional fishing village to a modern city that embraces the cultural diversity where eastern and western cultures coexist. As this city experiences urbanization and rapid modernization\, how many people will notice the traditional “Hidden Corners” of Macau? These unique cultural landscapes witness the dramatic development of this territory. Yet\, they are being forgotten by people. “Gracefull\, by Bezalel Ho” exhibition kicks off on June 20\, 2020. \nWhen: May–August\, 2020 \nWhere: Café Voyage\, 331 Avenida do Governador Jaime Silvério Marques\, Jardim Fu Tat R/C-V\, Macau \nHow much: Free admission \nFor more information\, check Café Voyage’s Facebook page

SUMMARY:“Somniloquence” – Works by Tong Chong
DESCRIPTION:“Somniloquence” is a series of latest artworks is the artist’s exploration in colors during the past two to three years. Tong Chong\, who has turned over forty years old now\, said that there was an absence of bright colors in his paintings previously. But as he entered middle age\, he seemed to reach a new comprehension of colors in his works. \nHe has chosen to use Chinese traditional painting pigments\, because the colors of plants and mineral pigments are more natural\, and the use of colors is combined with traditional paper-cutting art. Using bamboo fiber paper as a medium\, which provides more advantages in coloring and preservation\, he paints\, does coloring and collage in the process. \nTong Chong’s exploration of totems has never stopped since he was a teenager. His painting style never drifted to other mainstream culture\, he has dedicated himself to exploring the plasticity of turning reality into patterns and images\, which also led him to the path of sculpture art. \nThe current exhibition of Tong Chong\, organized by the Macau Art For All Society\, is the first part of the exhibition series of “Perpetual Impermanence” for established artists in the annual planning of 2020. The exhibition “Somniloquence” – Works by Tong Chong is his 11th solo exhibition\, showcasing 22 pieces of his latest and selected artworks\, including five sculptures\, and the rest are paintings. \nWhen: May 9–June 7\, 2020 \nWhere: AFA\, 4F Art Garden\, 265 Avenida Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues\, Macau \nHow much: Free admission \nFor more information\, check AFA’s Facebook page

SUMMARY:Mountain Surrounded by Sea – Sound & Art Installation
DESCRIPTION:Mountain Surrounded by Sea is a sound and art installation produced by Crystal W.M. Chan and Benjamin K. Hodges\, two artists splitting their time between Macau and the U.S. This installation at Creative Macau is intended to provoke contemplation about the precarity between land and sea\, invention and destruction. \nAccording to the exhibition’s curator\, “Land and sea are locked in a perpetual battle. Again and again\, waves try and fail to make it on land. Erosion takes some back to the sea\, beating up rocks\, shells and everything else caught up in it\, with sand the first casualty of this ongoing war. \nIt is worn down\, buried and slowly accumulates forming sandbars\, islands and archipelagos. The slow friction of the daily grind wears things into smaller parts\, smoother bits. Sand is also the stuff of memory and vacations\, nostalgia and heat; it is the grit of friction\, the trace that gets into sandals and gears. It is there on the desert island and in the hourglass. It is how we mark time; it is hourly and geological\, and sometimes golden or black. We know from both science and imagination that islands form by one of two processes. They either break away or raise up from beneath. And people insert themselves into them. They build walls and barriers between land and sea\, moats that make castles into islands. How do we live on this shifting sand; is it wise to build on this battlefield? \nTo live on the island is to sometimes forget the sands beneath and the sea that surrounds us. In Macau or Manhattan\, the sea is always nearby but is often drowned out by the noise of the city. Shuttling across bridges and flying above\, the sea passes in an instant. In these fleeting moments\, it’s all we can do to look out the window and nod to the sun\, moon and neighboring towers that loom over it. They provide some signal of a possible future to come. But we know Macau is not an island\, it is an island attached\, a Presque-isle\, an almost island. It is a place of escape\, a place full of waiting and arrivals; but it is also not alone. It is locked into a process of expansion and retreat; through land reclamation projects old and new it reaches out to make land from the sea and readies itself for the arrival of waves big and small.” \nBenjamin Kidder Hodges is an artist and academic from Virginia in the U.S. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a PhD in Anthropology and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Macau; where he has developed the university’s creative courses and Creative Media Lab. \nCrystal Chan Wai Man is a painter and multimedia artist born and raised in Portuguese Macau. She graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York and is currently pursuing her master’s degree at Purchase College\, State University of New York. \nWhen: May 19–June 6\, 2020 \nWhere: Creative Macau\, G/F Macau Cultural Centre Building\, Avenida Xian Xing Hai\, Macau \nHow much: Free admission \nFor more information\, check the event’s Facebook page
