The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) has announced the six exhibition proposals chosen for the “Local Curatorial Project” of this year’s “Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2025”.
Curated by selected teams, the chosen exhibitions will be presented in the “Art Macao 2025” and shortlisted in the preliminary selection for the “61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia – Collateral Event from Macao, China”, according to IC.
In order to provide an open and diversified exchange platform, encourage the creation of contemporary arts in Macau, cultivate local curatorial talents and showcase the city’s artistic achievements, the selection of the exhibition proposals for the “Local Curatorial Project” was made through an open call, with a total of 34 proposals received.
The adjudicating panel (pictured) was composed of the Chief Curator of the Biennale, Feng Boyi; the Executive Director of the Suzhou Museum of Contemporary Art, Wang Xiaosong; renowned contemporary artist, Song Dong; Dutch Independent Curator, Marcel Feil; and the Head of the Division of Visual Art of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Van Pou Lon.
After two rounds of rigorous evaluation, six proposals were selected from the eligible proposals, including: the “Genetic Duration” curated by Ung Vai Meng, the “After Oriental Garden” curated by Cheong Weng Lam, “The Sea of Languages: Macao Language Research Program” co-curated by He Yan Jun and Zhang Ke, the “A Speakable Position for Women” co-curated by Cheong Cheng Wa and Wang Jing, the “Beneath the Wetware Peninsula” co-curated by Daisy Di Wang and Wong Mei Teng, and the “Jacone’s Tower” co-curated by Feng Yan and Ng Sio Ieng, with a total of 35 participating artists in the programme.
Meanwhile, IC will set up another jury to select an exhibition proposal to represent Macau in the “61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia – Collateral Event from Macao, China” in Italy.
Organised by IC, “Art Macao 2025” is co-organised by Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and the SAR’s six integrated resort companies.
