The annually highlighted contemporary art exhibition “Ad Lib – Recent Works of Konstantin Bessmertny”, organized by the Macao Museum of Art (MAM), under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, has aroused interest of residents and tourists since its inauguration last November. The exhibition, which will conclude on Sunday, 28 May, is now offering the final opportunity for public to view the 34 pieces of painting, sculpture, installation and mixed media works by distinguished Russian artist Konstantin Bessmertny .
Konstantin Bessmertny has been residing in Macao since 1993, creating works that express ideas from philosophy, politics, theology, art history, cinema and music. He manifests the spiritual demeanour of the city with a visual language that is seemingly absurd, sharing his personal musings. The humorous approach he adopts in his works often amuse viewers. He also impels viewers to contemplate what they usually don’t think about the details and anecdotes of everyday life.
The catalogue of the exhibition “Ad Lib──Konstantin Bessmertny” is available for sale at the MAM Gift Shop at the price of MOP140, with a discount of 30% until 31 May. For queries, please call MAM through tel. 8791 9814 during office hours. The Macao Museum of Art is located in NAPE, Avenida Xian Xing Hai, and is open daily from 10am to 7pm (no admittance after 6:30pm; closed on Mondays). Admission is free.
