*全藝社參展“**2010藝術北京”國際藝術博覽會*

澳門全藝社組織多名澳門藝術家參加四月二十九日至五月二日於*北京全國農業展覽館*舉行的*“藝術北京2010－當代藝術博覽會”*(Art Beijing
2010)。“藝術北京2010當代藝術博覽會”
是北京一年一度最具規模的大型國際性藝術博覽會，以展示當代藝術作品爲主。參展單位來自國内、臺灣、香港、日本、韓國、印度、中東等全亞洲各地重要的畫廊，此外，亦有來自歐美的當代藝術代理。澳門全藝社今年再度向大會提交參展計劃書，經過大會執行會的嚴格評審後，全藝社的九位澳門藝術家正式獲邀請參展，成爲是次展覽一百二十多個參展單位之一，亦是澳門藝術家第三度參與如此大型的國際性藝術博覽會。

是次參展將分成兩部份，第一部分為本地藝術家百強的現場繪畫及新作展，除了展出四幅新作外，百強亦會連續六日於會場現場繪畫一幅4.8x2.4
米的作品，並於現場與參觀者交流。而第二部分為本地錄像新作展，將會展出包括李少莊、吳少英、若瑟‧狄莫、杜健康、郭瑞萍、郭恬熙及祖堅‧包華的六套
錄像作品。此外亦會展出朱焯信的雕塑裝置。

全藝社更首次與大會合作，於會場中設置“藝術家影院”，全藝社將早前先後於澳門及北京舉辦的《人類情感－
國際錄像巡迴展》來自世界各地四十多國的四十六套包括澳門藝術家的錄像作品，分成八個單元播放。
全藝社早前於北京中央美術學院舉辦「影像藝術和人類情感」講座，吸引大批藝術愛好者與學生參與，是次於“藝術北京”重展《人類情感－
國際錄像巡迴展》，相信將有助推動國內的錄像藝術發展。

全藝社為本澳非牟利藝術團體，致力與本地企業合作，開拓本地文化創意產業。“藝術北京2010”
為全藝社今年首個參加的國際性藝術博覽會，全藝社本年於本地及北京全藝社已先後舉辦過多個藝術展覽，過去兩年亦參加了內地及海外的多個藝術博覽會(
包括北京、台北、紐約等地)
。全藝社將通過此次博覽會進一步展現自己在這一領域所取得的成果，同時也將一如既往地堅持自己的文化定位與藝術理念，把澳門的藝術創作帶到澳門以外的國際市場。是次北京參展獲社會文化司及文化局資助部分經費。

*“藝術北京2010－當代藝術博覽會”*將於四月二十九日晚上舉行VIP專場，四月三十日至五月二日向公眾開放。有關*“藝術北京2010當代藝術博覽會”

 *Press Release*

*AFA to Participate in ‘Art Beijing 2010’ International Art Fair*

   AFA Macau has organised a number of Macao artists to participate in the
Art Beijing 2010 – Contemporary Art Fair, which will be held in the China
National Agricultural Exhibition Centre (NAEC) from 29th April to 2nd May.
The Art Beijing 2010 – Contemporary Art Fair is the largest annual
international art fair in Beijing, and primarily displays contemporary art.
Exhibitors at the Fair include significant art galleries from various Asian
regions such as Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and India
as well as the Middle East and contemporary art dealers from Europe and
America. This year, AFA Macau again submitted a proposal of works for
exhibition to the organiser. Following strict assessment by the relevant
Executive Committee, AFA has been duly invited as one of some 120
participating parties in the forthcoming Fair, in which nine Macao artists
from AFA will exhibit. This is the third occasion that Macao artists have
joined such a major international art fair.

The works of AFA will be displayed in two sections, the first of which will
feature on-the-scene painting and new works by local artist Fortes Pakeong
Sequeira. In addition to displaying his four new works, Fortes Pakeong
Sequeira will paint a 4.8m x 2.4m work at the venue over six consecutive
days and exchange ideas at the venue. The second section will showcase
current local video works - including six sets of videos by Lei Sio Chong,
Ng Sio Ieng, José Drummond, Tou Kin Hong, Candy Kuok, Alice Kok and Joao
Vasco Paiva. Moreover, it will showcase a sculpture installation by James
Chu.

AFA has for the first time joined hands with the organiser to establish an
‘artist cinema’ at the venue. AFA will display, in eight separate units,
forty-six video works by artists from some forty countries and regions
worldwide, including Macao shown in the ‘Human Emotions Project –
International Artists Using Film & Video’* *organised in Macao and Beijing.
AFA recently organised a seminar entitled ‘Video Art and Human Emotions’ at
the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, attracting numerous artistic
enthusiasts and students. The reappearance of these works at the Art Beijing
2010 is believed to be conducive to promoting the development of video arts
in Chinese Mainland.

AFA is a non-profit making art organisation dedicated to co-operating with
local enterprises and exploiting Macao’s cultural and creative industries.
Both AFA Macau and AFA Beijing have respectively hosted various art
exhibitions this year. The art organisation has also participated in various
art fairs in Chinese Mainland and overseas - including those in Beijing,
Taipei, New York, etc. - over the past two years. Art Beijing 2010 is the
first international art fair that AFA will participate in this year. AFA
will further present its achievements in the field via this forthcoming
Fair, and will as usual uphold its cultural positioning and art concepts in
introducing Macao’s artistic creations to the international market. The
Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture and the Cultural Affairs Bureau
have granted partial funds to AFA for its forthcoming exhibition in Beijing.


The VIP session of the Art Beijing 2010 – Contemporary Art Fair will be
launched on the evening of 29th April. The Fair will open to the public from
30th April to 2nd May. For details of Art Beijing 2010 – Contemporary Art
Fair, please visit www.artbeijing.net.
