“Everyone has their own Utopia…”
A myriad of new concepts and inventions emerging in the 21st century are changing the entire human life mode. Technological and economic breakthroughs seem to have led us and our lifestyle into an idealistic era. In today’s revolutionary times, what does Utopia mean? Utopia, apart from being an emblem of idealistic realms, is also commonly interpreted as an unrealistic and purely imaginary goal. Then, where we currently are, is it an idealistic world or just an illusion?

I Am Not There 3:Group Creative Exhibition

I Am Not There 3:Group Creative Exhibition
Opening :
3:00pm, 3 May 2009
Exhibition Period :
3 May to 31 May 2009
This is the third edition of the collective ‘I Am Not There’ held in Ox Warehouse. The first was a bit on the abstract; the second with a more natural approach. This time, we originally planned to do something fancy, and decided to invite artists of different fields such as musical bands and drama groups to join, but the plan was aborted due to practical reasons. In the end we were forced to focus on visual effects.
The first two editions of ‘I Am Not There’ enticed a hot debate toward its meaning, for many would think the title itself was related to Zen and Buddhist concepts. For the latest edition we will not be dwelling on theoretical definitions but will rather focus on the practical and creative sides.
First we let participating artists relate to the first two editions. Then all those involved start planning ‘I Am Not There III’ together, trying to rediscover Ox Warehouse new taking on Warehouse’s surroundings.
To fill the mission, we hiked in group to Mong Ha Hill, just behind Ox Warehouse, from which we could discover the city’s diversity. From the top and from down the hill we see two very different worlds: the hilltop is a deserted place, whereas downhill is a vibrant world – though not very crowded – where folks carry on with their lives. Both represent unique urban landscapes.
Therefore, this time’s ‘I Am Not There’ draws inspiration from the association with urban surroundings, from the utter contrast between its uphill and downhill facets. We display works made from diverse materials, combining city, road and maze, just to rephrase the title: “If I Am Not There, Am I in a Quest?”

This’s Me! – Creative Works by Kit Pond and Kevin Lam
Opening :
3:00pm, 11 April 2009
Exhibition Period :

11 April to 24 May 2009


Teaching made me have contact with students who love art. I got to know them during informal ‘hobby’ courses that I tutored, and all of them do not have any formal art education background. But their commitment is no less than those of formal art majors. And they have been in the process of incessant creation over a long term

Kit Pond impressed me in our first contact with his great painting talent. He likes scrawling on his homework books, using a single ball pen to sketch out eerie images infused with imagination and vigor. Yet the fact is that he has never formally studied painting. In his early childhood, during classes, he liked to draw some small, matchstick-men-like figures. Only after his teen years he gradually drew more lines and eventually developed his drawings into paintings with complicated and delicate lines. These images, elaborately composed, are all fruit of long contemplation – each A4 ball pen-painted page would take him more than one month. Kit, like many other young men, was once at a loss towards his personal future development. Perhaps we can say he is lucky enough to finally find a profession in a sector where he can further develop his talent.
Kevin Lam is an IT graduate. He only got into contact with photography when he was about to complete his university degree. He attended several more relevant courses after taking a first photography ‘hobby’ course in the campus, during which he got to know the different types of photography. Starting with a digital camera, he then switched to film and pinhole cameras. After some time he discovered that he really likes touching the film. He took photos with a Lomo-Hogla 120 using film, developed it by way of “e2c” (employ negative film development method to develop positive film) and scanned it afterwards. It turned out that the color is very rich, different from the bluish effects resulting from the traditional development method. Moreover, due to the scanning, images which can’t be produced by conventional development emerge, as a result of the high contrast enabled by computer. The combination of computer technology and film is a perfect combination in this era.

For Kevin, and many other photography beginners like him, capturing subjects seems to be the most difficult thing. To overcome this, Kevin usually take photos at free will. In addition, as using film camera won’t allow the photo effects to be seen instantly, he prefers to give himself much more freedom to take pictures wherever possible, thus composing photos with a bolder approach than in digital photographing. This has givend his film works a bit of experimental flavor. Probably that is what Kevin is.

Spontaneous Creativity – Interactive Drawing Exhibition by Two Young Creative Artists

Spontaneous Creativity
– Interactive Drawing Exhibition by Two Young Creative Artists
Opening :
4:00pm, 21 February 2009
Exhibition Period :
Ordinary people may think creative drawing is an easy and carefree task, and a kind of expression form that requires little effort. Is that true?
We have invited two local artists Hong (Fan Sai Hong) and Ivy (Ivy Leong) to present this exhibition and share with us their experimental creative fruits collected over some time. We hope it will offer visitors an opportunity to realise how this type of drawing, created with very simple media, can also be very eye-catching and expressive.
They are two different alternative artists: Hong would rather be free and have his own way, indulging in creation irrespective of others’ reaction. Ivy is a different type of artist who does not want to follow tradition and rather prefers to discover her own ways of expression. This kind of persistent and even stubborn creative pursuit is exactly what local artists need most. We hope to see more self-daring artists and sincerely expect that the exhibition Spontaneous Creativity might really help to sow creativity in the sky of Macau, wishing it to flourish.

On the forefront of mature French rap, Fisto moves easily among the various music styles and modes of expression that characterize the genre.In this era of hard-hitting Hip Hop, Fisto took to creating a style aimed at satisfying the mind as well as sales.He is, as Desproges would say, an “unencumbered artist”. Working with themes such as intimacy, instinct, decadence and the specious present, his effusive odes to unrequited love allow the listener space for his or her own personal vagaries. / Organization：

A Couple of Forms

A Couple of Forms

Artists Gregory Maass from Germany and Nayoungim from South Korea, present their Artist-in-Residence exhibition at the Ox Warehouse, Macau.In an effort to introduce international contemporary art forms to Macau audiences, the local art space of the Ox Warehouse has invited two artists at the beginning of 2009 from Germany and South Korea, for an “artist-in-residence” program in Macau. Gregory Maass and Nayoungim both graduated from the famous L’École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts of Paris in 1996 and have been working as “traveling artists” and partners since 2004. Having traveled widely and exhibited in Europe, America, Korea and Japan, the artists have found themselves preparing an art exhibition in a Chinese territory for the first time. During their 3-week stay in Macau, the couple of artists have not only presented a brand new installation exhibition, but have also held a one-week workshop with local artists on the theme of installation art.Frank Lei, art director of the Ox Warehouse and curator of the show, has introduced the artist-in-residence and workshop program with a clear pedagogic intention in his mind. “The art form of installation has been very popular in Macau for nearly a decade now, but in general, people’s perception of it remains vague. So-called “Installation Art” is often practiced here as a mere combination of objects, without consideration to creating a connection of thoughts and feelings between the work and the viewer,” Frank explains. “Through the exhibition and workshop with these two experienced artists, I hope we will be able to share their experience and hence help to develop a more sound attitude towards the creation of forms on the art scene in Macau.”So after two weeks of preparations, the exhibition “You got to be like water” was inaugurated at the Ox Warehouse on the 11th of January. According to the introduction text written by the artists, the title was in fact a quote from an interview with Bruce Lee in which he described how to become a martial art champion. After using the seemingly irrelevant martial arts secret of Bruce Lee as the introduction title, viewers are further led into a world of strangeness. A smoking panda made of six rectangular wooden boxes is installed next to a group of suspended tables and boards. And on top of these hanging objects, are two bigA Couple of FormsGregory Maass from Germany and Nayoungimletters made of neon tubes that can be read as “XO”. Apart from this brief inscription, a hidden sentence can also be read through a combination of social group photos taken from local newspapers. The sentence goes, “BE INVISIBLE”.The whole setting of the art works is infused with a sense of enigma, activating the viewers to participate and guess. But while our Macau viewers are often too eager to decipher visual forms into literal meanings, it would be a misunderstanding if we push it too far. According to the artists, there are not so many meanings to be found. The best they did to offer an explanation during their one-week workshop about installation art was to tell us the anecdotes behind every single object. “We decided to use a panda because during the first three days of our arrival, we saw news about pandas every night on television. And with a bag of dry ice installed in the nostrils, we have made a smoking panda. It’s fun in this way I think.” Gregory Maass explains. As for the methods and experience of their creative path, the artists are more than economical in their words. “There is not much to say. It works, because the form is there.”Indeed, the form is there. And in the language of art forms, verbal words are not a necessity. The articulation of this language is situated among different elements, be it visual or spatial. One of the most pronounced examples in this case is the use of mirrors in theexhibition. A set of three rectangular mirrors was installed on the corner between one of the walls and the ceiling reflecting the giant panda, creating a feeling of perspective and reflection in the rather small space of the gallery. The materials used were all found “in-situ”; in this case mostly wooden objects, thus creating a coherence of visual textures for the viewer. Despite the stinginess of the artists to provide any veritable meanings to what they are trying to convey through their installation art works, their generosity is to be found behind every decision and detail that they have considered in the making of shapes, colors, lightings and space. And the degrees of subtlety and sensitivity applied in these articulations define how skillful and effective this kind of art can be at touching the viewer.So forms have their own language and in the case of an art exhibition, it is often the object to contemplate. The nature of Gregory Maass and Nayoungim’s work is highly demonstrative in exactly this way. But what if we have not yet learnt the language? Where can we start to communicate? For the artists who are concerned exclusively about forms but not pedagogy, this is where it falls short. What is left is just the experience; an “esthetic experience” if you will. But for the pedagogue, a tangible way has yet to be found, so that artistic ideas are not mere objects of contemplation, but a tool to bring our society to a higher level of awareness and constructive meaning.photos and text by Alice KokQuotation: macau Closer (Feb.)

“Ox Re-exhibition in the Year of the Ox – Our Memories and Wishes”

“Ox Re-exhibition in the Year of the Ox – Our Memories and Wishes”
Special Creative Exhibition
Opening :
4:30pm, 1 February 2009

Exhibition Period :
1 February to 22 March 2009

You may still remember the special exhibition “Ox Exhibition in the Year of the Goat” during the Chinese New Year of 2003, through which the Ox Warehouse – once an abandoned warehouse unfamiliar to residents - was injected with fresh “art” vitality, exuberant with a unique creativity and viral artistry. The Ox Warehouse has since become a new art arena, gathering artists of different creative media to express ideas and insights. Year after year it has undergone metamorphoses, and up to now it still seeks further developments and challenges, always trying new fashions.
The approaching Chinese New Year of 2009 is a good occasion to get together and thus Ox Warehouse is inviting all the 2003 Ox Exhibition participating artists, as well as new creative people, to fill in different colors at this special occasion and join this re-exhibition, looking at creation in a more free and relaxing way.
As Ox Warehouse is celebrating its 6th anniversary, whether to retrospect or to look forward, we only aim to retain the peculiar artistic atmosphere through diverse display methods.
Our small city is ever-changing and we feel both familiar and estranged to it. Nevertheless we must continue to break free of the routine shackles in order to breathe the reviving vigor. Perhaps, through the interesting and crafted creations and different reflections from you, we can add more fun to life in this ever bustling and complex city. This might be the New Year wish of us all.

Date: 12/01-17/01 6:00PM to 9:30PM (five class in total, a day-break in between, time to be determined)Content: installation art features, sharing of individual creative work, guidance for students, art development direction discussion and recommendations, technique demonstrations.Charges: MOP $100 per person (Friends of Oxwarehouse enjoy 10% discounts)Number: no more than 10 people, intended for people interested in artLanguage: French / English, Cantonese translation

Workshop：

Language insinuates itself everywhere, initiating all kinds of metaphorical readings and misreadings. In the natural history of mankind's imagination, never have so much language, imagery and music been transmitted as today.
The title is a quote from an interview of Bruce Lee in which he was asked how to become a martial arts champion.
We intend to build a schematic route of drawings. These drawings are schemes representing a training system of identities, personalities, idols, characteristics, methods, styles, textures and so on, their interconnectedness, in a lose form of a brick braking competitions set-up, separating life and art beautifully. We will exhibit a willingness to employ all kinds of materials to warp each others meaning into metaphorical status. The show will represent how to become an individual in this foreign territory to which we have been misplaced.

The Ox warehouse season 2008

The Ox warehouse season 2008

Ox Warehouse launched its first Theatre Season last year. Taking ‘memories’ as the main theme, a series of theatre performances, workshops and exhibitions were produced.Ox Warehouse Theatre Season 2008 will continue the promotion of “the enhancement of spatial features (of Ox Warehouse), intermix of artistic boundaries, and interaction with the themes of in-house exhibitions”. By inviting local and resident artists from overseas, we will present several performances and workshops tailor-made for the Ox Warehouse venue.
Program I
Playback Theatre
Theme of the Performance: Ten years
Ten years in a gaze: you have a lot to say and we interpret it for you right away!
Date: 14th December (Sunday)
Time: 3:00p.m.
Performers: Michele, Mu Cheng, Yu Hon Kit, Horse, Ka Pou, Andy, JT
Playback Theatre is a kind of improvisational theatre that interacts directly with the audience. After an audience member tells a true personal story or describes a feeling, performers will at once represent it on stage through voice, movements and acting. Playback Theaters now exist in 31 countries around the world. The concept has been well received by many social service workers and educators and is widely used in the fields of education, psychotherapy and counseling.
Forum: How Playback Theatre deals with social issues
Speaker: Michele, JT
Date: 14th December (Sunday)
Time: 4:00p.m.
Presented by: Hong Kong People’s Stories Theatre + Good Friends
Founded in 2008, the People’s Stories Theatre acts out people’s personal stories in a dramatic way. Its aims are: to hail every individual’s value within the community, promote social harmony, establish the importance of oral history and foster a better understanding of ourselves and our communities while sharing personal stories. The Theatre deeply believes that the performance becomes a gift, both for those who share it and the society at large. In the process of sharing a story, difference can establish a dialogue; the teller can relive his or her own experience; the listeners can witness other people’s maturing and their endeavors within the community whereby all involved can obtain beautiful memories.
As an exchange activity, The New York Playback Theatre Institute’s graduates have been invited to take part in this performance.
Free Tickets for Playback Theatre and Forum.
Program III：
Ox Theatre 2008 Highlight
10-year Return Period
It is a theatrical piece in which a person returns to a play staged ten years before.
According to statistics theory, “Return Period” (also called recurrence interval) means the average time until the reoccurrence of a defined event. A “10-year Return Period” event takes 10 years to come back.
In 1998, despite some obstacles, a play was finally presented. It depicted how Macao people figure Macao and it was composed only of historic fragments.
Ten years later, in 2008, a play is restaged. It depicts why Macao people have to reenact it; it is an old play that cannot reconstruct the past yet it is being remade on a new stage.
Can she fully tell her story in this performance?
Date:17th and 18th January 2009
Time:8:00p.m.
Location:Ox Warehouse
Ticket Price：Mop$30 (50% Discount for Students and Friends of Ox Warehouse) (Seats are not assigned)

This programme, like last year, except for the exhibition, talks will be given by participating artists. They will tell about their works and discuss with audiences. It makes us comprehending further the creative concepts, process and experience of each artist, simultaneously, feeling the distinguishing characteristics of “video” from multi-points of view and the unrestrictedly deductive method.Eight video artists are invited to participate in exhibiting their works. Without any central theme being imposed in the show, the participants only use moving images to tell their stories, feelings and points of view. The medium is the only common bridge among these works. In other words, this exhibition is a gathering of video works.參展藝術家 participating artists： Ho Ka Cheng

Prelude to the 10th Anniversary of 1999 Macao Handover

Prelude to the 10th Anniversary of 1999 Macao Handover
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.
Opening ceremony and talk with artists

Opening for Going On-Exhibition of creative works by students of ox warehouse art workshop

Going On-Exhibition of creative works by students of ox warehouse art workshop

Going On – Exhibition of creative works by students of oxwarehouse art workshop Opening :Saturday)4:00pm, 4 October 2008 Exhibition Period :4 October to 2 November, 2008Creation is actually the improvement of the self through imagination.” – a thought by Gukzik, Moon Festival 2008.“Going On - Exhibition of Creative Works by Students of Ox Warehouse Art Workshop” is the wrap-up of the painting workshop hosted by Gukzik Lao, a creative artist from Hong Kong, through which the instructor, together with students from different backgrounds and occupations, explore and experiment with materials. For Gukzik, exploration is basically to place oneself in a strange environment in order to become creative. The feeling of strangeness implies a high degree of curiosity about the environment, like a newborn bady reacting to the world, when everything is new and the impulse to explore strong. During the two-month, six-class workshop, Gukzik adapts the students’ mood to this approach, limiting the study to the materials only. Both in terms of the studies intensity and expected results, it suits well this short-term workshop.“Going On” is an open style painting exhibition through an ongoing creative process. The students can come back every day to rework their pieces, for further development, revision or improvement. At the same time, they are asked to put in writing their thoughts about the ongoing experience, which will become itself an ongoing process, allowing additions, deletions and revisions at anytime.Through this exhibition-cum-workshop, we hope to offer the students a basic training in art, to let them develop their own artistic language and enjoy the highest degree of creation in the process.

It manages a leased artistic venue, Ox Warehouse, with a small staff in charge of daily administration and program planning and organization chores. The Ox Warehouse presents exhibitions and performances of contemporary art, trying to provide an alternative platform to the local arts scene, which is a bit wanting in this regard. Being dedicated to the promotion of art, the Ox Warehouse also organizes inspirational artistic workshops, in order to foster individual creativity and the experimental spirit, as well as cross-border exchange programs. Last but not the least, the Ox Warehouse art space is open to local artists and art associations for collaborative projects, making the venue an experimental platform for Macao's artistic creation. Ox Warehouse website:http://oxwarehouse.blogspot.com/ Step Out. Step Out Step Out is a nonprofit art association founded in 2001. It has already created and staged more than 30 theater plays, trying to express its concern for the society and the human condition.

So far, its children’s theater creations and productions have included, among others: “Ugly Duck” which toured several schools; “Forest Dreamland”, co-organized with the Lazarus Youth Center; “Art Ambassador Telling You - Niki de Saint Phalle”, organized by the Macao Art Museum; “Forest of Dreams” for the Theatre Literature Series, organized by the Macao Cultural Center, as well as the “Storage in Ox House” for the Children's Summer Art Playground 2007, organized by the Old Ladies Art Space.
