Overview
The "2022 Hong Kong-Macao Visual Art Biennale" is jointly presented by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the Government of the HKSAR, and the Secretariat for Social Affairs and Culture of the Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region. It has built an important platform for the exchange among artists from Hong Kong, Macao and Mainland China since 2008.
This year's biennale has adopted the theme of "Perceptual & Intellectual", and is held at two stops in Beijing and Shenzhen. Over thirty artists or art groups from Hong Kong, Macao and Mainland China were invited to take part in the biennale and form a parallel dialogue in three sections. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department is honoured to once again co-organise this signature event. The Hong Kong section exhibition is curated by the Hong Kong Museum of Art in collaboration with Art Tech Partner, Mr Ng Tsz-kwan. It features artwork installations and interactive new media creations by six Hong Kong artists, namely Joseph Chan, Chris Cheung, Tung Wing-hong, Kenny Wong and duo Samuel Yip and Janice To. The exhibition aims to present how technology—from mechanics to electronics, digitalisation to artificial intelligence—can be applied and expanded to creative works, and explore how humans communicate with nature and the inner voice through a blend of arts, science and technology.
