An exhibition featuring artworks created by artists from Hong Kong and Macao raised its curtain at the Gongwang Museum in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, in late October, aiming to fuel exchanges between artists from Hong Kong, Macao and the Chinese mainland.
The exhibition Integration and Dialogue: Hong Kong-Macao Visual Art Biennial 2024 includes three sections — Hong Kong Snapshots & City Walks; Not Macao, But Named Macao; and Landscapes in Hangzhou.
The Hangzhou section displays paintings, videos and installations by 16 local artists who create works focused on landscapes.
The Hong Kong section, curated by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, reflects how young Hong Kong artists revitalize traditional crafts through the inheritance of the Lingnan School of Painting and innovative approaches to intangible cultural heritage.
The Macao section focuses on ordinary stories from the perspective of artists living and working in Macao. It narrates the ever-changing region in the realm of people’s knowledge and understanding.
After Hangzhou, the exhibition will continue its tour to Nanjing, Jiangsu province, Guangdong province’s Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and Beijing. The biennial in Hangzhou will be on display until Nov 14.
The biennial was established in 2008 with themes of past biennials ranging from calligraphy, painting, photography, and graphic design to contemporary art, new media art and design, and the intersection of art and technology. It has become an important platform for fostering exchanges between young artists from the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao.
