Death and Rebirth – New Photography Works by Ieong Man Pan
Taipa Village Cultural Association presents the last exhibition of the year, “Death and Rebirth – New Photography Works by Ieong Man Pan”. As a starting point for this body of work, Ieong recalls some of his life-changing personal experiences in search of a way to reset his photographic eye and continue to find a reason to pursue his passion. Focused on fleeting moments that usually pass unnoticed to the common and untrained eye, the uncanny framing magnifies the meaning of being present, being there at that specific moment of time and space, equal to none other.
According to the curator, “It seems Ieong has been busy with many other facets still related to art in general and photography in particular, such as curating exhibitions, opening his own commercial photography studio and founding the 1844 Photography Art Space, a gallery entirely dedicated to showing local photographic artwork.”
When: October 6–31, 2021
Where: Taipa Village Art Space, 10 Rua Dos Clérigos, Taipa

The Negroni Variations at The St. Regis Bar
The St. Regis Bar invites negroni aficionados to discover new negroni concoctions curated by talented mixologists. Continuing with the tradition of enlivening time-honored recipes, guests can experience The Negroni Variations. The Negroni cocktail was invented in 1919 at Caffe Casoni in Florence by Conte Camillo Negroni. He requested the bartender to strengthen his favorite cocktail, the Americano by replacing the soda water with gin and garnishing it with a slice of orange, hence, the Negroni was born.
Discover The Negroni Variations curated with contemporary craftsmanship at this stunning venue. The St. Regis The Bitter Edition is a twist to the traditional drink with St. George Botanivore Gin, Antica Formula rosemary, campari and a healthy dash of Regan’s orange to balance the rich character. Mezze Negroni combines award-winning Tequila Alipús Mezcal with Mancino Vermouth, vermouth to be enjoyed on its own or served as a perfect companion in cocktails. Campari and fresh raspberry are added to create a symphony of flavors. The Sloe-Groni is an exquisite blend of Sipsmith London Dry Gin, Sloe-Gin, campari, and sweet vermouth. The bitter-sweet concoction with fresh fruity notes elevates the classic negroni to another level. To complement the Negroni selection, The St. Regis Bar serves tantalizing fare such as dry-aged beef burger, Boston lobster, fried baby calamari, and truffle fries.

Coachman, by Shi Lu
Bold Spirit: Works of Shi Lu from the Collection of the National Museum of China
The exhibition is divided into four sections, namely Revolutionary Epic, Praise of the New Era, Chang’an New Painting and Strength of Character, featuring over 150 outstanding works by Shi Lu, a renowned painter of the Chang’an Painting School, including ink wash paintings, prints, oil paintings, and calligraphies, supplemented by relevant historical materials, documents and pictures, showing the change and innovation of the theme of his works and the formation of his distinctive style.
Shi Lu (1919–1982), a native of Renshou County in Sichuan Province, is the adopted pseudonym of Feng Yaheng, because of his admiration for Shi Tao and Lu Xun. As one of the 20th-century artists with the greatest contemporary spirit and avant-garde vision in the history of Chinese art, Shi Lu devoted his life to the inheritance, innovation, and development of national art, and advocated the artistic principle of “learning from tradition on the one hand and learning from life on the other”, incorporating the scenery of the Loess Plateau and the customs of northern Shaanxi into his paintings. By developing his own style in landscape painting, portraits, bird-and-flower painting, calligraphy, seal carving, poetry, and literature and art theory, he created and promoted one of the most important schools of modern Chinese painting – Chang’an Painting School. Shi Lu led his life exactly as he said: “I believe the intention of the painter is to represent the times.” Through this exhibition, the audience can learn his unique artistic style in the history of modern Chinese art, and experience the spirit of an era from an artistic perspective, not to be missed.
When: September 18–November 12, 2021
