Amazing Art Events in Macau this August

art work alter ego

August is here! This month is usually considered to be the last month of summer, but here in Macau the events are just starting! The month of August is named after Augustus Caesar, who was an important and regal person, and this month there are plenty of important regal art events. This month is your last chance to catch the exhibition dedicated to the work of Marc Chagall, a renowned Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin associated with several major artistic styles. It’s also getting close to the end of Alter Ego, a series of six epic exhibitions which has brought the work of 27 artists to Macau, all inspired by the theme of ‘Alter Ego’. There is also a unique sculpture exhibition by Portuguese sculptor, António Leça, featuring a total of 56 wooden artworks created over the course of the past five years. There are many other great events we’ve curated for you below too – so get your culture hat on and have an artful month!

ALTER EGO – A SERIES OF SIX EXHIBITIONS IN MACAU

(See the featured image above)

This is part of the annual Arts Exhibition between China and Portuguese-speaking countries which will see 27 artists unveil their new works in Macau. Curated by the Portuguese artist Alexandre Farto (also known as Vhils and Pauline Foessel), the works will be shown across six individual exhibitions from July 8 to September 9, all inspired by the theme of ‘Alter Ego’ – they aim to visually envision a striking journey resulting in aesthetically rich and moving results.

Each exhibition is an independent concept with its own unique character that includes the words and perspectives of the artist, and together they all form one symbiotic collection entwined by a common premise. The final part of the sequence curated by Francisco Vidal (Portugal & Angola) is appropriately named Alter Ego, and it concludes the process with a thought-provoking incursion into the understanding that while we are all seemingly different, we are also all fundamentally the same.

When: 10:00am—7:00pm, July 8—September 9 (closed on Mondays)

Where: The Navy Yard No. 1, Rua de S. Tiago da Barra, Macao

How much: Free admission

For more information please call +853 8988 4000 or visit www.icm.gov.mo

MARC CHAGALL: LIGHT AND COLOUR IN SOUTHERN FRANCE EXHIBITION

This exhibition dedicated to Marc Chagall will feature a selection of works which highlight the pre-eminence of light and color in his creations. There will be paintings, gouaches, lithographs, costumes, and tapestries from the talented artist. His work encompasses a world of unique and diverse cultural influences which he encountered during a lifetime marked by war and exile. Chagall’s Light and Color in Southern Frances explore the omnipresence of lights and colors in his work from the 1950s, inspired by the dazzling Mediterranean Sea and bright landscapes of the French River. The exhibition has been organized by the Macao Museum of Art under the Cultural Affairs Bureau and made possible thanks to the precious help of the Musée National Marc Chagall in Nice and the support of the Chagall Estate.

When: 10:00am—7:00pm, June 1—August 26, (closed on Mondays)
