Sculpture exhibition with unusual ‘music box’ opens

The Macau Museum of Art (MAM) is launching a series of contemporary sculpture exhibitions starting with “A Sculpture,” which opened yesterday. at the Handover Gifts Museum of Macau.
“A Sculpture” presents a large-scale piece entitled “Music Box,” by local sculptor Sou Pui Kun, and is co-organized by MAM and the Macau Sculpture Association. The exhibition takes place twice a year, and invites local and foreign sculptors to exhibit their works in Macau.
Sou Pui Kun was born in Macau in 1959. He graduated with a BA from the Department of Fine Arts at Taiwan Normal University, an MA in Industrial Design and Ceramics from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, and a PhD in History from Jinan University. He currently serves as an associate professor at the Macau Polytechnic Institute’s School of Arts.
Sou said that he hopes to turn his sculpture – which is made of discarded, noisy mechanical parts, or “antiques” – into a music box or megaphone that transforms their noises into beautiful melodies.
The Handover Gifts Museum of Macau is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., except on Mondays. The exhibition will be open to the public from tomorrow until June 19. Admission is free.
