“Glorious China, Auspicious Macau – Wang
Kaifang’s Gold Brick Exhibition”
A Prosperous Start to Chinese New Year!
The one-stop luxury complex, One Central Macau, and MGM MACAU jointly present an auspicious exhibition featuring the work of one of China’s most revered cross-disciplinary contemporary artists
To welcome the Year
of the Snake, One Central Macau and MGM MACAU, the premier integrated facility
for luxury shopping, dining, hospitality and entertainment, will jointly present “Glorious China,
Auspicious Macau – Wang Kaifang’s Gold Brick Exhibition”, created by one of
China’s most famous artists, Wang Kaifang.
Located in the prime waterfront
area of Macau peninsula, One Central Macau and MGM MACAU, are equally committed
to bringing world-class art to Macau, encourage cultural exchange and
contribute to elevating Macau’s art scene to an international level.
As one of China’s most celebrated
contemporary artists, Wang’s success has ranged from architecture, gardening,
and landscaping, to sculpture, interiors, and graphics. He has completed over
300 works of art, including a commissioned piece for China’s space development
program, entitled “Crystal Cockroach”, that travelled with the “Shenzhou 8” spacecraft
— a first for Chinese contemporary art. Wang has also received global
recognition, through awards such as the “Asia Pin-up Design Awards” Gold Prize
and the Interior Design Cover Figure of the Year.
The exhibition, which has never
been shown outside Mainland China until now, takes place from February 7, 2013
until April 2, 2013, and will be staged at various locations throughout One
Central Macau and MGM MACAU. Wang has produced 12 gold bricks for the upcoming
Macau installation — each piece, the tallest of which is a lofty 2.5 meters,
has a different story and rationale, serving as a bridge between the audience
and the artist.
Explaining
the concept, Wang says the bricks represent humanity, with each taking on a
different fate and role. Gold is superior to any other earthly metal; it exudes
a warm energy with an eternal glow. In Chinese culture, gold is also the prime
element and represents authority and prosperity. Based on these philosophies,
Wang has combined gold and bricks to create the “Gold Brick” series.
Wang
adds, “The Bricks also carry a special message; that is, to create an
auspicious and blooming ambience in Macau during the Chinese New Year.
Embodying the diversity, as well as the prosperous and ambitious spirits of
Macau, the series of works also aims to spread happiness and positive energy,
while leaving the viewer with a unique and glorious memory of Macau.”
To create
the Gold Brick, he used 24-carat gold foil in a series of unique techniques, such
as sensory conversion, holoscan, 3D printing and fine casting – a global pioneering
approach in his field.
Guests
visiting the “Glorious China, Auspicious Macau – Wang Kaifang’s Gold Brick
Exhibition”, during the Chinese New Year, can also take advantage of the
celebratory events and promotions that will be held at both One Central Macau
and MGM MACAU. A daily lucky draw will run from February 10, 2013 to February
24, 2013, and a total of thirty miniature gold bricks, worth over MOP1 million,
will be given away as prizes. Guests who spend MOP10,000 or above, within a
day, at One Central Macau or MGM MACAU, will be eligible to receive one lucky
draw ticket. There will be two lucky winners per day, and each will be awarded
one miniature gold brick worth MOP38,800.
Also, a
traditional Chinese handicrafts market will be set up at Grande Praça, MGM
MACAU, from February 4, 2013 to February 24, 2013 — activities will include
paper-cut art, dough figurine-making, candy-blowing, and hand-pull dragon beard
candy-making. Last but not least, a Chinese New Year-themed buffet will be
served at Rossio Restaurant, pastries and puddings will be available at MGM
Pâtisserie, and the Imperial Court and Grand Imperial Court will host seasonal recommendations
from the chefs.
