An exhibition featuring six female artists from Macau and mainland China, entitled “Resonance–Body．Object．Reflection”, a prelude to late Portuguese artist Helena Almeida’s forthcoming large-scale retrospective – her first major solo exhibition in Asia – set to take place in Macau next year, kicked off on yesterday.
The exhibition is held on the third floor of Macao Museum of Art (MAM) in Nape until 26 April 2026. The museum is open from 10 am to 7 pm daily, including public holidays, except Mondays. Admission is free.
The six participating artists have been specially invited to engage with Almeida (1934 – 2018) by means of newly commissioned works, fostering a dialogue that transcends time and space, according to Macau’s Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC).
Early next year, the exhibition “Helena Almeida: I Am Here – Presence and Resonance” will be launched, comprising two sections: “Presence” and “Resonance”. Visitors will have the opportunity to witness the fruitful endeavours of the in-depth cultural dialogue between China and Portugal through nearly 42 sets comprising 190 original works by Almeida.
The “Presence” section will showcase the experimental works of Almeida, who was an internationally acclaimed artist known for using the body as a medium. Meanwhile, to enhance contemporary art exchanges between China and Portugal, the “Resonance” section has been specially planned to create a dialogue bridge with contemporary works, paving the way for next year’s major exhibition.
The current “Resonance–Body．Object．Reflection” exhibition is organised by IC and co-organised by the School of Intermedia Art, China Academy of Art. – GNM
