This is the fourth consecutive year the Macao Arts Festival has organized an
International Video Art Cycle. From this year forward, in order to further
promote this “younger” art form in Macao, video art shall become an integral
part of the Festival’s annual programming.
This year we have redoubled our efforts, presenting two different programmes
instead of just one. The first programme, curated by Hanspeter Ammann, is
entitled "The Power of Creativity." It presents a collection of 14 recent videos
from artists around the world, with a strong presence of Asian authors and
themes. The second programme, also especially created for the 16th Macao Arts
Festival, is entitled “Portuguese Video Cycle.” Co-organized by the Cultural
Institute and Lisbon’s Municipal Video Library (Videoteca da Câmara Municipal de
Lisboa), it presents a selection of 13 works from some of the most celebrated
Portuguese video artists. A first-time event in Macao!
The 4th Macao International Video Art Cycle will present a broader and richer
set of artistic works without sacrificing the qualities that ensured this
event’s success in previous years: a multicultural programme that mirrors the
Eastern and Western cultural legacies of the city where we live!
