慶祝中法建交五十周年 澳門美高梅「獅子雙年展」首臨亞洲
五十雄獅融匯藝術創意彰顯中法藝術風采
以高品味藝術享負盛名的澳門美高梅，一直致力推動文化藝術活動及發展，為賓客帶來獨特的美高梅藝術觀感體驗。為慶祝中華人民共和國與法國建交五十周年，由澳門美高梅獨家贊助，澳門民政總署、澳門藝術博物館與法國駐港澳總領事館聯合主辦，澳門特別行政區政府旅遊局、文化局及里昂獅子雙年展協會合力支持的「獅子雙年展」盛事將首次移師至亞洲，擬定於本年六月至十月期間於美高梅酒店及澳門市內舉行，為其十週年世界巡迴展覽畫上句點。
「獅子雙年展」先後於法國里昂（2004）、意大利都靈（2006）、加拿大魁北克（2008）以及阿爾及利亞的阿爾及爾（2012）成功展出。作為「法國五月2014」這盛大藝術慶典的重要部分，澳門美高梅「獅子雙年展」以象徵美高梅及法國里昂的獅子為藍本，邀請合共五十位來自不同界別的中法藝術家，包括彫刻家、畫家、織品設計師以及時裝設計師等共襄盛舉，五十頭融匯藝術及創意的獅子雕塑將以豐富多樣的面貌展現人前。
獅子在歐洲被視為力量的象徵，而在中國，獅子則象徵富裕及守護，觀眾可通過這些各具風格的獅子雕塑，感受中法藝術家對同一事物的不同見解及詮釋。這些威風凜凜的樹脂製獅子雕塑姿態一致，展品經粉飾後將於美高梅酒店、美高梅展藝空間及澳門鬧市內不同地標展出，讓公眾能夠欣賞多種藝術與文化交匯的風貌。

“MGM MACAU’s Biennial
of the Lions” Comes Roaring
to Asia for the First Time
Exhibition Celebrates
the 50-Year-Long Friendship Between China and France
As part of
MGM MACAU’s ongoing efforts to promote all forms of art and make them
accessible to the public, MGM MACAU is proud to be the exclusive sponsor of
“The Biennial of the Lions”, which features 50 different lion sculptures to
celebrate the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between
China and France. This public art
initiative—organized by the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM), the Macao
Museum of Art (MAM) and the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau,
with the support of the Macau Government Tourist Office, the Macau Cultural
Affairs Bureau (ICM) and La Biennale des Lions—is one of the highlights of the
arts festival, “Le French May”, a festive celebration of all things
French. After successful exhibitions in
Lyon, France (2004); Turin, Italy (2006); Québec, Canada (2008); and Algiers,
Algeria (2012), “The Biennial of the Lions” comes roaring to Macau for the
first time ever.
Now on its tenth
year, MGM MACAU’s Biennial of the Lions is promoting artistic cultural ties by
commissioning works of art that are exhibited in ways that link artists,
artworks and the general public in a grand spectacle. Using the lion, an icon of MGM and the emblem
of Lyon, as the symbol of this exchange, this exhibition is curated to showcase
colorful, unique pieces by 50 French and Chinese artists who have been
commissioned to use the sculptures as a blank canvas and given carte blanche to
create without boundaries. These
artists, who have been brought together in the name of culture, come from a
variety of artistic disciplines: sculpture, visual arts, textile and fashion
design.
In Europe, the
lion symbolizes strength. In China, it
represents prosperity and protection.
Visitors will be able to see for themselves how the differences—or
similarities—are depicted by two different cultures through these dazzling lion
artworks. Made from resin and with
identical poses, the finished pieces will be displayed around the city of Macau
and at MGM MACAU and its Art Space as an artistic and cultural statement that
art should be enjoyed by everyone.
Catch the lion
sculptures and the exhibition at MGM MACAU and its Art Space from June until
October. Come and see the parade of
lions—dressed elaborately by French and Chinese artists—displayed with pride
for all to admire!
