Art Macao 2025: Picasso, porcelain, AI and more at citywide event's third edition
The main event is the Macao International Art Biennale, held at the Macao Museum of Art and playfully titled 'Hey, What Brings You Here?'
Curated by Beijing-based art critic Feng Boyi, the main exhibition poses a seemingly simple yet profound question that is often the first to be asked of any visitor to a new country as they pass through immigration, and reflects Macau's historical identity as a transit point for people from around the world.
'This query explores Macao's local history, memory and today's global complexities,' Feng writes in his curatorial statement. 'It also invites reflection on fundamental questions: 'Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?''
Pablo Picasso's Cavalier and Horse is featured in the exhibition 'Picasso: Beauty and Drama' at the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort in Macau, part of Art Macao 2025.
The exhibition includes 80 mixed-media works by 46 artists from 13 countries, including China, South Korea, India, Iran, Poland and Germany, spanning paintings, sculptures and AI-generated art. Feng describes it as a 'time transcending tunnel'.
