An exhibition entitled “Visions” (境界) on display at the Rui Cunha Foundation (FRC) gallery until January 22 is showcasing about 30 artworks by 20 students and professors from the University of Macau (UM), according to a statement by the private foundation earlier this week.
The exhibition is co-hosted by the foundation and UM’s Centre for Arts and Design, Department of Arts and Design, and Department of Communication.
The statement underlines that the exhibition aims to synthesise Chinese and Western artistic concepts, incorporate arts and technologies, and strive to transcend the conventional boundaries between art and design.

Exhibition curator Leong Lampo (梁藍波) is the academic advisor to and director of the Centre for Arts and Design of the University of Macau (UM).
