Since 2007, the Macao Museum of Art, under the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government, has organized Macao artists in macao, China, to participate in the biennial Venice International Art Biennale, which is the eighth edition this year. This year's Macao Pavilion in China was attended by the "YiXiao" Art Group with the theme of "Fables of Dreams". The appreciation of the day's works will begin with performance performances, which mainly reflect the state of human beings in greed, vanity, self and emptiness. After the performance, a speech, congratulatory speech and toast ceremony will be held immediately after the performance.
Paolo Di Grandis, a well-known international art curator, said that he has been involved in the coordination work since the first participation in the Venice Biennale in Macao, China, which witnessed the development of Macao in contemporary art, and he believes that the launch ceremony of this year's performance as a work appreciation meeting is very novel and can arouse everyone's thinking about the situation facing human beings.
