“To Infinity and Beyond: The Art of Hsiao Chin” Leverages Avant-garde Concept to Reimagine Chinese Art
“To Infinity and Beyond: The Art of Hsiao Chin” (“To Infinity and Beyond” exhibition), an immersive art exhibition integrated in the “Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2023”, opens its door to public from now till September 23. Showcasing masterpieces of Chinese modern abstract art master Hsiao Chin, the exhibition, set inside the state-of-the-art black-box theater at MGM COTAI, brings forth the avant-garde concept of “ART-TECH-TAINMENT” by transcending the confines of spaces. It innovatively presents Hsiao Chin’s voyage of art spanning over 60 years in the East and West, as well as his artistic vision that is full of eastern philosophical imagination and energy.
Being the largest multimedia exhibition throughout Hsiao Chin’s lifetime career, the exhibition showcases 66 of Hsiao’s masterpieces – most of which are on world tour in international museums, and some others, unveiled to the public for the first time, belong to the Chairman’s Collection of MGM. By utilizing cutting-edge technologies, the exhibition pushes its boundaries to create a vivid array of highlights, one of which is the debut of the art film “Hsiao Chin’s Universe”. Audience views the 12-meter space-themed LED canvas from an elevated platform, as if they are physically immersing in the vast expanse of imaginative and energetic space. The two digital installations, “Sky Mirror” and “Infinity”, mark the first cross-sector collaboration between Hsiao Chin and acclaimed Hong Kong Tech-Ink artist Victor Wong and highlight Hsiao Chin as a pioneering force in Chinese abstract art, blending traditional thoughts and contemporary experiences with his unique artistic language.
Embraces “Art of Living” from Macau and Beyond
“To Infinity and Beyond” represents the sublimation of the artistic journey of Hsiao and MGM together, and witnesses how both Hsiao and MGM join hands in bringing the inventive energy of Chinese art to its new height, a vision that MGM always strives to carry out. Embracing its ethos of “Art of Living”, MGM is determined to promote public art and elevate the appeal of Chinese culture on the world stage – the Company is the first integrated resort operator in Macau to establish a dedicated team for arts and culture development. On top of organizing arts and culture happenings, the team also endeavor to nurture a new generation of local art enthusiasts – since its founding in 2013, the team has trained over 1,200 local youth, including university students and fresh graduates, cultivating young talent for the art field by offering them a brand-new perspective on the city’s cultural tourism scene.
