yves sonolet until the end of time page1

“I’ll Be Gone You’ll Be Gone” – Works by Yves Étienne Sonolet

Yves has a wide range of interests. Be it in sociology, politics, culture, technology, history, and certainly, in art, his enthusiasm to think critically seems to be indefatigable. As an artist, Yves has a remarkable talent to the imaginative and the humorous, based on which he takes his creative pleasure by means of “appropriation” and “détournement” of usually somewhat boring everyday objects, such as turning empty packs of cigarettes into a karaoke singing machine.

“As we observe in his work ‘Until the End of Time’, the women featured on the warning messages of the cigarette packs opening their mouths to sing ‘Love me Tender’, we are introduced into a strange process of communication in which no certainty or conclusion is to be drawn. Rather, it is the questioning that confirms.”, the curator says.

When: July 31–August 28, 2020

Where: AFA, 4F Art Garden, 265 Avenida Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues, Macau

How much: Free admission

macau woodblock print association members exhibition city weekender Macau

“City” – Macau Woodblock Print Association Members Exhibition

In 2019, two artists–one from Hong Kong and another from Taichung, Taiwan–together with a curator from Macau, came up with the title “City” as the association’s first exhibition. “City has no borders. It is not a country. In this global context, a city can only give you a little bit background of what culture you are, but cannot define the person”, the association explains.

“Now I look back at all the artworks that we have gathered–they come from Fukuoka, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Hubei, Kvam, Macau, Osaka, Shenzhen, Taichung and Tokyo, the topic “City” generated a more profound idea. It is not about a place, they are about the people who surround us or things that we get into and inspired us”, curator Mel Cheong says.

When: August 2–31, 2020

Where: Jao Tsung-I Academy, 95 C-D Avenida do Conselheiro Ferreira de Almeida, Macau

How much: Free admission

Although breakfast, lunch, and dinner are the three main staple meals of the day, there are also “in-between” slots that are perfect for a short tête-à-tête with friends and family.

Usually, afternoon tea sets come with both sweet and savory little appetizers, plus a wide selection of teas, juices, and even cocktails. For your next catch-up with your friends, read on to find more about the best afternoon tea sets in Macau.

Kun Iam Temple Incense Burning Centered weekender Macau

Explore the beauty and rich history of Kun Iam Temple

The beautiful Kun Iam Temple (Kun Iam Tong) in Avenida do Coronel Mesquita is a Buddhist temple that dates back to the 13th century and is dedicated to Kun Iam. This Taoist Goddess was also venerated amongst the Chinese Buddhists and came to represent a version of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Mercy. In Mahayana Buddhism, a Bodhisattva is a person who is able to reach Nirvana but delays doing so through compassion for suffering beings. The building we see today was erected in the 17th century, in 1627 and stands amidst the other equally beautiful and intriguing temples in Macau.

As tradition dictates on these occasions, the temple is divided into three pavilions, one dedicated to the three precious Buddhas, one to the Longevity Buddha, and the third to Kun Iam. The setting is idyllic with beautiful trees and gardens in perfect harmony. As most Bodhisattvas, Kun Iam is dressed as a princess, in real brocade silk, complete with a traditional headpiece that is changed every year.
