SUMMARY:The 30th Macao Arts Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Macao Arts Festival dramatically lights up the city every early summer\, bringing together theatre\, dance\, music\, circus\, multimedia and visual arts in an artistic panorama of events. A mix of local\, regional and international performers from various regions and countries around the world presents diverse programmes\, including Cantonese Opera\, Western classical and modern music\, Chinese music and drama\, Macanese drama\, and a host of exciting artistic experiences enjoyed by enthusiastic multicultural audiences for an entire month.

Ten dancers supported by ropes appear to change their focus of gravity from the horizontal to the vertical and dash up walls\, while during other moments they perform dance movements to contemporary music when suspended from a height. Another Festival highlight is the dance show “Rain”\, which returns to Macao 18 years after its debut. Additionally during the Festival\, the 120th anniversary of the birth of Chinese novelist\, Lao She\, is marked by performance of “Mr Ma and Son”\, a dramatisation of his novel of the same name. The narrative brings together Beijing-style wit and English humor. \n \nThe Festival also hosts the play “Karl Valentin Kabarett”\, dealing with the work of cabaret performer-turned-author Karl Valentin – sometimes known as the “German Charlie Chaplin”. It features music and dance as well as drama.

SUMMARY:Hua Yuan at MGM
DESCRIPTION:(Featured image: Journey to the Dark II\, by Yang Yongliang) \nInk flows with the history and art of Chinese culture. MGM presents a modern artistic ink experience–Hua Yuan. This exhibition invites renowned multi-disciplinary contemporary artist Jennifer Wen Ma and international digital visual artist Yang Yongliang. Jennifer Ma uses the intrinsic connectivity and diversity of ink to present a large-scale multimedia and art installation of three gardens. “A Metamorphosis: No End to End” is a garden landscape bringing together natural\, sculptural and virtual textures and an installation opera in one act “Paradise Interrupted” which was praised globally as the opening event of the 2016 Lincoln Center Festival in New York. \n“Journey to the Dark II”\, by Yang Yongliang\, combines slow movement\, profound sound and darkness in a video installation that unfolds a side of Macau we’ve never seen: although it doesn’t exist\, it’s made of several portions of the city’s landscape. When looking carefully\, one can spot Grand Lisboa\, MGM Macau and so many other iconic structures that make Macau the city it is. This is a simple\, but intense experience to have\, especially in a place when horizons are rare and buildings are set side by side with some more. \nThe work presents a surrealistic urban nightscape merged with a boundless night sky; here the artificial world and the natural world coexist\, interwoven\, in a motley harmony. Through cutting edge digital imaging technologies\, this work is rendered at near-8K resolution. Incorporating a large amount of footage purposely shot in Macau and photographs of the signature architecture of the city\, the video has the distinct flavor of Macanese culture and topography\, raising provocative questions about the issue of regionality in the exhibition. Journey to the Dark II is a digital video that uses urban architecture as a brush and the layered mountains of Song-dynasty landscape painting as a compositional blueprint. It can thus be considered a contemporary extension of traditional Chinese painting. \nFrom afar\, the work appears tranquil and quiet\, with only a vague suggestion of movement. As the viewer approaches\, everything in the video reveals itself to be moving\, growing\, and transforming. Urban development not only nourishes a city but also raises some objective questions. Whereas the ancients expressed their appreciation for nature in landscape painting\, Yang Yongliang’s contemporary landscape provokes reflection on the state of contemporary society. The monumental high-\nresolution panoramic screen in the MGM Theater perfectly renders the near-infinite details in Journey to the Dark II\, enveloping the viewer like a dome and engendering an unprecedented immersive visual experience. \nThe darkness of MGM Theatre allows for an introspective moment in this exhibition lasting a few minutes: just the perfect amount of time for the audience to create their own stories in and about the city: one with no boundaries in this showcase. It harnesses technology and videography to showcase the transformation of Chinese ink via a digital landscape painting. Through Hua Yuan\, the essence of Chinese culture and art is preserved and progressed\, allowing the public to experience the beauty of ink and wonder at its possibilities. Born in 1980\, Shanghai (China)\, Yang graduated from the China Academy of Art in Shanghai in 2003\, and his works have been exhibited at museums and biennials all over the world. His is renowned for exploiting connections between traditional art and the contemporary\, implementing ancient oriental aesthetics and literati beliefs with modern language and digital techniques. \nInternationally renowned\, cross-disciplinary artist Jennifer Wen Ma employs an all-encompassing worldview to conceptualize a multimedia installation taking over MGM COTAI’s Spectacle. Springing forth from Ma’s mind and hands\, this garden landscape brings together natural\, sculptural\, and virtual textures\, synchronizing the entire Spectacle in one visionary stroke. \nThe artist’s signature honeycomb-construction paper-sculpture garden will be the physical artwork in the Spectacle. This stunning series of paper gardens combines state-of-the-art laser cutting technology with traditional Chinese art of accordion paper folding technique. Gardens spill down to the floor and occupy a pop-up exhibition space in the Spectacle. The installation is designed as a three-dimensional landscape painting. Viewers looking down from the first level will discover a world activated by visitors exploring the gardenscape on the ground floor\, and vice versa. The multiplicity of perspectives allow each visitor to have a unique\, immersive experience with the work. \nAn internationally renowned\, cross-disciplinary artist\, Ma bridges varied media such as installation\, drawing\, video\, public art\, design\, performance\, and theater; often bringing together unlikely elements in a single piece in order to create sensitive\, poetic and poignant works. \n\n“Paradise Interrupted An Installation Opera in One Act”\, by Jennifer Wen Ma \n\n\nFrom the same artist\, Paradise Interrupted: An Installation Opera in One Act\, tells the story of a woman searching for an unattainable ideal in a world that comes to life through her singing\, as she attempts to return to the Garden. Co-produced by Spoleto Festival USA\, Lincoln Center Festival\, Singapore International Festival of Arts and National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts\, it weaves the myths of the Garden of Eden and Peony Pavilion\, with a mesmerizing composition that merges a 600-year-old Kun opera with contemporary Western opera. The creative use of interactive technology enables a host of digital characters to interact with the heroine within a magical garden to create an enchanting story. \nThe director and designer of this exquisite opera is visual artist\, Jennifer Wen Ma. The composition\, which is both a celebration of tradition and an entirely new masterpiece\, is by Huang Ruo. The quest-seeking heroine is Qian Yi\, who has been lauded by The New York Times as “China’s reigning opera princess.” \n\nWhen: “Journey to the Dark II” – June 7–August 3\, 2019 (Closed every Tuesday and from June 12 to 14) \n“A Metamorphosis: No End to End” – June 7–October 20\, 2019 \n“Paradise Interrupted: An Installation Opera in One Act” – 7:00pm\, August 29 and 8:00pm\, August 31\, 2019 \nWhere: MGM Cotai\, Avenida da Nave Desportiva\, Cotai \nHow much: Free admission \nFor more information\, check the event’s website \n\n“Hua Yuan” at MGM is part of the mega international art and cultural event Art Macao. \nHappening from May to October this year\, Art Macao brings together cultural institutions\, hotel and resort operators\, consular missions in Hong Kong and Macau to create an unforgettable atmosphere and cultural vitality to thrill residents and tourists alike. \n\nA Metamorphosis: No End to End\, by Jennifer Wen Ma

SUMMARY:Black Is Beautiful: A Celebration of African-American Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Cinematheque Passion presents “Black Is Beautiful: A Celebration of African American Cinema”\, featuring ten classics and recent works from African American filmmakers from June 7 to 20. An opening party with a DJ and rapper kicks off the festival\, followed by the introductory talk “’That’s My Joint!’ ─ Why Black Arts Matter”. \nThe festival features Spike Lee’s classic Do the Right Thing back from the 1980s\, and Cannes’s Grand Prix winner Blackkklansman. The former depicts the tension between whites and blacks during a Brooklyn heatwave; while the latter retells the real-life story of black police officer Ron Stallworth in scorching humour. \n“L. A. Rebellion”\, is a term used to describe the school of UCLA emerging filmmakers from the 1970s as they developed their voice and offered a humanistic approach to the intrinsic worth of the individual. Charles Burnett’s hidden gem Killer of Sheep comments on a worker’s hard life in the ghettos with the texture of documentary. Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust follows the Gullah community\, descendants of West African slaves\, in their journey to protect their culture and heritage. \nTwo pieces envision a future that is not confined by reality. Terence Nance’s An Oversimplification of Her Beauty combines documentary and animation in a tale of being stood up on a date. Boots Riley’s Sundance winner Sorry to Bother You shows a call-centre worker climb his career ladder by applying a “white” voice. \nStrange Bedfellows session puts the stereotypical portrayal of black people back on the agenda with Wendell Harris Jr’s Chameleon Street and Kathleen Collins’s Losing Ground. The former revisits the real-life story of master impersonator Douglas Street with sharp wit; while the latter is a masterpiece looking intimately at marriage\, art and gender. \nDown by Law features Barry Jenkins’s If Beale Street Could Talk and Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station. These are set to fascinate with engaging stories. Based on James Baldwin’s novel\, the former tells a tale of two lovers in the face of injustice. The latter compassionately unfolds the last hours of a young black man who is shot dead by a police officer. Talk: “’That’s My Joint!’ ─ Why Black Arts Matter” Festival curator Francisco Lo and University of Hong Kong lecturer Dr. Derek Lam discuss the history and style of African American cinema with Macau audience. \nWhen: June 7–20\, 2019 \nWhere: Cinematheque Passion\, 13 Travessa da Paixão\, Macau \nHow much: MOP $60 per ticket \nTickets are available from 10:00am on May 25\, 2019\, both online and at Cinematheque Passion’s ticket office \nFor enquiries\, call them at +853 2852 2585 or check their website

SUMMARY:Art Macao: Exhibitions Organized by Foreign Consulates
DESCRIPTION:(Featured image: Menshen: Everyday a kilo of gold\, by Benoit+Bo\, 2019) \nThe Consulates of Italy\, Belgium\, Japan\, Hungary and Portugal in Hong Kong (and Macau) joins forces to present a set of amazing\, new\, contemporary art pieces for all to enjoy for free. Exhibited around the city\, some in Taipa and others\, in the Macau peninsula. This collection includes works by Benoit+Bo\, Hungarian Zsuzsa Péreli\, Japanese Taniguchi Hiroki\, Shinmura Norito and Ren Takaya\, among others. \n“Prosperous Years”\, from the Brussels-based artist duo Benoit+Bo (東波西波 in Chinese) begins with a visual and sound installation of a giant lantern. The lantern is in the shape of heads\, named “Happy Heads” by the two artists. The enlightened head tells a poetic and sentimental text in several languages (English\, Chinese\, French\, Spanish\, Portuguese and more). This installation symbolizes the universality of art and human feelings in a globalized world. Near the lantern\, there is a neon sculpture represents universal symbols of love. In the other room\, there are a series of printed digital works which is called “Menshen” in reference to the images of “gatekeepers” from the Chinese culture. The two artists reinterpret the old idea of protective images with new technologies. The recombination of style in photography\, the narration of unlike language in audio and mixed application of various cultural factors in digital precisely reflect the borderless vision of the two artists. For more details on this showcase\, check here. \nBo\, from China and Benoit\, from France\, hope to create a contemporary art landscape that integrates the cultures of the east and the west by their different cultural world views and artistic languages. They boldly use different elements of folk art and pop culture to link it with inspirations from life\, and express a contemporary vision without boundaries through distinctive colours and different materials. The two artists met in Tianjin in 2002 and used to work in Paris in Shanghai. They have been living and doing art creations in Brussels\, Belgium since 2015. Their work has been exhibited in galleries and art museum in China\, France\, Belgium\, Italy\, Spain\, Australia and South Korea. \nGRAPHIC TRIAL 2010 uroko no utsukushisa ni chousensuru\, by Shinmura Norito\, 2010 \nThe Consulate-General of Japan in Hong Kong brings\, in collaboration with Toppan Printing\, a poster exhibition featuring posters of Japanese culture and performing arts. Toppan Printing has produced posters portraying expressions of graphic design and print expressions designed by prominent Japanese contemporary artists. In addition\, some specially curated posters from the “Graphic Trial” and the “Traditional Performing Arts of Japan” series (※)\, as well as a couple of selected arts and crafts items by Japanese modern and contemporary artists will be displayed at the same time. The exhibition will also feature digital works by the media artist Naoko Tosa as well as various art activities such as lectures and demonstrations on craft arts\, flower arrangements\, tea ceremony\, music performances and so on to be held at designated times. \n(※) “Graphic Trial” is an experimental attempt that deeply examines the relationship between graphic design and printed expression\, seeking out new expressions through experiments in which creators actively challenge printing expressions. “Traditional Performing Arts of Japan” is a series of posters designed in 1981 and 2017 to commemorate the launch of performing arts collaboration between UCLA and Waseda Universities. It’s displayed at Tap Seac Gallery until September 22\, 2019. \nA New Wave of Passion\, by Francesco Lietti\, 2018 \nColours of Asia compiles works by the Italian artist\, Francesco Lietti. He has been living in Hong Kong since early 2006 and his love of this vibrant\, eclectic city is immediately apparent in his works\, which derives from the mnemonic imagery of the artist\, who lives in symbiosis with the themes of travel and discovery. \nWhen first visiting Hong Kong in the summer of 2005\, the painter experienced an overwhelming sensation: fascinated by the variety of colours\, the rich smells\, and the plethora of images he was drawn to return and stay. This exciting metropolis is something you cannot just put into a frame: something would spill out; something would be missing; one can catch the details\, but he or she would never be able to capture the entire picture. The artist portrays this through simple and direct forms. He paints naive visions that often have a humorous quality\, describing the city in an almost caricatured magnificence. Through the use of striking colors the painter captures the essence of Hong Kong’s famous harbour skyline and makes it his own. His paintings hover between reality and fantasy. Using strong blocks of paint to represent the buildings\, Lietti also includes smaller patches of textured colour\, which dance across the cityscape\, giving it that dream-like\, ephemeral quality. The artist works in acrylic and oils on canvas and also adds collage to give his paintings texture and depth. He then finishes his pieces with a thick\, glossy resin\, further enhancing the brightness of the colours. \nLietti also captures the colors and delights of other Asian destinations. The lush greens of Vietnam and Bali\, the golden sunsets of Rajasthan\, the deep blue seascapes of the Philippines\, these are just some of the many places he has visited and experienced. The artist gives us rare glimpses\, merging reality with a magical world. The exhibition is showcased at the Taipa Houses-Exhibitions Gallery. \nFinally\, the tapestries of Hungarian artist\, Zsuzsa Péreli are displayed at the Macao Contemporary Art Center – Navy Yard No. 1 with Looking out of the Credible exhibition. Péreli uses colourful threads\, rather than a brush. Expanding the genre of the tapestry\, she experiments with new materials\, techniques and procedures as she probes into the layers of time and memory. She includes “found objects” in her compositions\, demonstrating both a respect for tradition and a desire to break the mould. She also creates aquarelles and collages. The metaphysical and sacred themes that run through her oeuvre mediate between two worlds\, intimating and translating for the viewer all that can only be intuited about non-material reality. The exhibition is organized by the Consulate General of Hungary in Hong Kong and Macao. \nWhen: June–September\, 2019 \nWhere: Prosperous Years – Old Court Building\, 459 Av. da Praia Grande\, Macau \nColours of Asia – Taipa Houses-Museum\, Avenida da Praia\, Carmo area\, Taipa \nLooking out of the Credible: Tapestries of Zsuzsa Péreli – Navy Yard 1\, Macao Contemporary Art Center – Navy Yard No 1\, Rua S.

SUMMARY:2nd China & Portuguese-speaking Countries Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Macau plays a key role in connecting and developing the cultures of China and Portuguese-speaking countries. Last year\, the China and Portuguese-speaking Countries Film Festival was enthusiastically introduced\, becoming a part of the arts-development project “Encounter in Macao – Arts and Cultural Festival between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries”. The festival aims to broaden local audience’s vision of Chinese and Portuguese films. \nThis year\, the festival returns with an engaging programme to draw the interest of the Macau audience to Portuguese films\, and of the Portuguese community to Chinese films. In addition\, a session of local filmmakers’ works is presented. This year’s festival consists of more than 20 films screened in three sessions – “Classics’ Review”\, “New Vision of China and Portuguese-speaking Countries” and “Olá Macao”\, complemented by post-screening talks and sharing sessions. \nPoet-and-director Fei Mu’s glorious classic Spring in a Small Town sees its Macau premiere in a digitally remastered version provided by the China Film Archive. This year\, we are honored to invite Dai Jinhua\, professor at Peking University\, to open the film festival with a talk on Chinese cinema and its focus on rural landscape and urban perspectives. The closing film is The Portuguese Woman by Rita Azevedo Gomes. Adapted by Austrian writer Robert Musil’s novel\, this poetic period drama follows a Portuguese woman’s married life in another country while her husband is at war. \nIn regard to Chinese film\, guest curator Joyce Yang explores the rural imagery and urban depiction in the Chinese cinema\, touching upon different themes and styles. The “Classics’ Review” session features Jia Zhangke’s internationally- renowned feature Still Life and director-in-focus Zhang Yang’s early gripping storytelling. As for the contemporary works\, they illustrate beguiling and intimate stories. One of them is Zhou Jie’s recent work Blue Amber. Its award- winning cinematography is led by Macao director Mike Ao Ieong Weng Fong\, who has won the “Asian New Talent Award – Best Cinematographer” at the Shanghai International Film Festival 2018. \n \nClarence Tsui\, guest curator and aficionado of Portuguese works\, carefully selects six outstanding films shot and produced in Portugal\, Brazil\, Angola and Guinea-Bissau\, creating a cinematic feast for the audience. Moving beyond last year’s broad\, panoramic study of cross-continental Lusophone cinema\, the festival goes more specific this year by exploring how identities are manifested in films from this very diverse sphere. The Portuguese films will be screened in the “New Vision of China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries” and “Classics’ Review” sessions\, three works for each session. \nLast but not least\, the “Olá Macao” session presents four remarkable features from the “Support Programme for the Production of Feature Films”\, and five enchanting animation works from the first edition of the “Subsidy Programme for the Production of Original Animation Short Films”. Both programmes are introduced by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao S.A.R. Government. Through this session\, we not only connect different cultures but also invite local audiences and audiences all over the world to witness the creative growth of local works and the unique film stories produced in Macau. \nWhen: July 4–17\, 2019 \nWhere: Cinematheque Passion\, 13 Travessa da Paixão\, Macau \nHow much: Each ticket costs MOP $60 \nFor more information\, check their website
