An exhibition entitled “Multi-Prismatic Mutual Views: International Invitational Exhibition of Contemporary Art” (多棱•互觀——國際當代藝術邀請展) is on display at the Macau Museum of Art (MAM) until February 6.
The exhibition is jointly hosted by MAM and the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) in conjunction with China Academy of Art (中國美術學院).
According to a statement by the museum, “Multi-Prismatic Mutual Views” is a metaphor which calls attention to the artists who are accompanied by physical materials.
The statement underlined that the exhibition invited 32 contemporary artists, comprising individuals and groups, from different regions. Moreover, the exhibition hopes to highlight the multi-prismatic and mutual viewing art scenery of the artists’ experimental outlook, and to explore new paths and studies of contemporary art with the MAM professional team and the academic discourse of the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou.
The statement said that the exhibition aims to confront the currently decentralised reality and to “question” the essential issues of art and society. The statement also said that the artworks use a variety of media such as paint, video, installation, and virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR).
The statement pointed out that under the ‘multi-prismatic’ effect along with artistic references and values in observation and establishment, “Macau will become a multi-dimensional interactive cultural jewel of the new China”.
The exhibition includes guided tours in Cantonese for the public on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, at 3 p.m. on the first-floor gallery.
MAM is open from Tuesdays to Sundays and on public holidays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is free.
