art exhibition
Opening :(Saturday) 4:00pm, 15 November 2008 Exhibition Period :4 November 2008 to 19 January 2009
The Old Ladies house Art Space will present on November 15th 2008 a collective exhibition “Prelude to the 10th Anniversary of 1999 Macao Handover” at the Ox Warehouse. The exhibition can be seen until January 19th 2009.
The exhibition features artworks of Hong Kong and Macao artists, reflecting the two territories’ handover experiences, and their impact on residents’ lives, as well as on the urban development, which is always a challenge to human societies.
Drawing inspiration from daily life, the artists will show their thoughts about life and urban development in a creative manner.
The Handover have a special meaning to citizens of Macao and Hong Kong. The handover date is a much celebrated special holiday in both territories. The exhibition, highlighting works that illustrate the cultural and lifestyle changes before and after the handover, intends to offer a retrospective reflection on the transition.
Being produced in 2008 – exactly one year before the 10th anniversary of 1999 Macao handover and one year after the 10th anniversary of 1997 Hong Kong handover – it invites Macao people to reflect on their attitude to life for the coming year.
This exhibition will showcase Macao’s changes in the last ten years, which certainly would have a great significance to all Macao residents, regardless of having witnessed or not the handover ceremony.
