ARTFEM 2020计划于今年十月举行，该展以“Natura”为主题，汇集来自全球106位艺术家的作品。“Natura”这一概念与环境保护有关，开放让艺术家作出各种诠释。为期两个月的ARTFEM 2020将于婆仔屋文创空间、市政牧场旧址（牛房）、里斯本画廊和东方基金会会址展出。马若龙、郭恬熙、李圳香、朱焯信和Leonor Veiga是该展览的策展人。继上届邀得艺术家保拉．雷戈（Paula Rego）担任活动的Godmother后，ARTFEM 2020的Godmother由北京艺术家向京和澳门艺术家袁之钦担任。
“我们一直希望能在3月8日国际妇女节开幕，因为期望这个日期较易被人记住。虽然无法实现，但我们不希望将展览延至明年。因此，尽管它不是在这个具象征性的日子举办，此展也将在今年开幕。我们对在今年10月举行活动感到乐观。”马若龙向句号报补充道。

ARTFEM筹备委员会主席马若龙说，继2018年3月在澳门艺术博物馆（MAM）举办第一届之后，今届双年展将分布在市内的四个空间进行：婆仔屋文创空间、市政牧场旧址（牛房）、里斯本画廊和东方基金会会址。“今年的想法是走城市漫游路线，透过邀请艺术家来澳交流及举办驻场创作计划，产生协同作用。因此与首届ARTFEM不同，我们决定将把展览分散到多个地方举行。”
现时参展艺术家超过一百名，她们主要来自葡萄牙语国家、欧洲和亚洲地区。“共有106位艺术家参与其中，来自中国和葡国的占多数，但全球都有代表，包括葡语系国家。除了当中响当当的名字，此展亦会展出来自葡萄牙、中国、意大利和荷兰等地的年轻艺术家的创作。”建筑师兼艺术家马若龙说道。
参展的艺术家和创作者包括、Ana Pérez-Quiroga、李少庄、Arahmaiani、Aurielle Jioya、 Clara Maciulis、安娜．努涅斯、陈慧雯、李绮琪、Francesca Zoboli、Kirsten Berg、蒋国远、Maria Madeira、Nadine Norman、郭倩齐、Laura Federici、Dawn Alane-Kelmenson、拉奎尔．格拉里路、Clarissa Baumann、Anabela Canas、谈瑞婷、黄慧璇、Vibha Galhotra、Lisette Schumacher、Elena Hoskyns-Abrahall、Krupa Makhija、李敏智及张可。
“我们必须建立区域性乃至世界性的基础”
马若龙表示，现在尚未能将双年展的展场规模扩展到大湾区。“暂时未可能，我们必须建立区域性乃至世界性的基础，积累经验，再将展览空间向大湾区发展。同时因为疫情关系，即使我们已确保了设施的可用性，海外艺术家能否前来亲身出席展览也是一个复杂的问题。”
与首届ARTFEM不同，今届双年展设主题“Natura”，让艺术家通过视觉创作进行响应：“我们今届果断地提出主题“Natura”作为创作的起点。“Natura”可以多种形式诠释，例如环境保护这全球关注的议题。”

在策展人的对话之中，环境问题成为了展览策展人的讨论焦点，“Natura”这个主题的应运而生。建筑师指出，当团队在2019年商议此双年展的计划时，众人都认为这个主题很有意义，特别是因为亚马逊森林大火、全球暖化及过去几年国际上各种隐忧。由于新冠肺炎疫情，今年这些问题稍微被忽略了。“自然”是一个当前的重要主题，无论当今还是未来，它影响着所有人，地球的命运正处于危急关头。除了这些问题外，它亦鼓励创作者由全球—欧洲到美国以至整个亚洲，透过种族和民俗的表现方式，对地球的象征意义进行深入研究，这各方面都能够让主题更形象化地展现。
保拉．雷戈，荣誉的Godmother
除马若龙外，该双年展的策展人还包括郭恬熙、李圳香、朱焯信和Leonor Veiga。保拉．雷戈担任了首届双年展的Godmother，她的女儿Victoria Willing来澳作为代表出席支持展览。这位在伦敦生活了数十年的葡萄牙画家一直是ARTFEM 2020的荣誉Godmother。“今年，我们希望增加Godmother的数目，因此我们邀请了来自北京的向京担任Godmother。向京是一位拥有着出色国际事业的高质素艺术家。她是一位雕塑家，她以个体或更大的规模，以单人或多人为单位，制作过各种大小的超现实裸体女性雕塑。她深入研究了脉搏、毛孔的绘画方式，客观地呈现中国乃至全球的女性问题。”筹备委员会主席描述道。
2020 GODMOTHERS
Xiang Jing
Un Chi Iam
我们不仅仅有向京一名Godmother。“我们第一次有一位来自澳门的Godmother－画家袁之钦，缪鹏飞的妻子。我们希望让保拉．雷戈成为荣誉倡导者，因为她是ARTFEM的第一位Godmother，并对这个展览活动充满热爱。”
Scheduled to start in September, ARTFEM 2020 – 2nd Macau International Biennial – Women Artists, will bring together the work of 106 creators from the entire world, under the theme “Natura”, a concept linked to environmental protection which “allows a broad spectrum of plastic interpretations”. The large collective exhibition, which will extend over two months, will be presented this year at Albergue SCM, at the Old Municipal Stable, at Galeria Lisboa and at Casa Garden Gallery. Carlos Marreiros, Alice Kok, Angela Li Zhenxiang, James Chu and Leonor Veiga take on the curatorship of an event that is sponsored by artists Xiang Jing, from Beijing, and Un Chi Iam, from Macau, who succeed Paula Rego, now honorary godmother.
“We always want to open on March 8, International Women’s Day. We didn’t succeed in doing so this year, yet we don’t want to postpone the exhibition to the next year. So, since it doesn’t take place on this symbolic date – because we aim the date to enter people’s mind map -, we’ll do it this year. We are a little more optimistic about September. The pandemic has not yet opened us to the world or the world to us. So, for now, it is scheduled to be in September”, adds Carlos Marreiros to the PONTO FINAL.
Carlos Marreiros, chairman of the ARTFEM organizing committee, adds that, after the first edition which took place in March 2018 which was concentrated at the Macao Museum of Art (MAM), the biennial now goes outdoors, appearing in four spaces spread throughout the city: Albergue SCM, Former Municipal Cattle Stable, Galeria Lisboa and Casa Garden. “This year, the idea is to walk the city courses. As there will be – if they can come – participation of very young artists, we aimed to create residences and synergies. As such, we decided to spread the event in several places, unlike the first edition, where everything was concentrated in MAM”.
Confirmed is the participation of more than a hundred artists, mainly from latitudes that touch the Portuguese-speaking world, Europe and Asia. “There are 106 artists from all over the world. There is some preponderance for artists from China and Portugal, but the world is represented. Some artists come from Portuguese-speaking countries, and, among the renowned names, we are bringing young artists from Portugal, China, Italy, Holland, etc.”, points out the architect and artist.
The extensive list of artists and creators includes names like Kit Lee, Ana Pérez-Quiroga, Bianca Lei, Arahmaiani, Aurielle Jioya, Clara Maciulis, Ana Jacinto Nunes, Crystal Chan WM, Gigi Lee, Francesca Zoboli, Kirsten Berg, Jiang Guoyuan, Maria Madeira, Nadine Norman, Carol Sin-chai Kwok, Laura Federici, Dawn Alane-Kelmenson, Raquel Gralheiro, Clarissa Baumann, Anabela Canas, Bella Tam, Gloria Wong, Vibha Galhotra, Lisette Schumacher, Elena Hoskyns-Abrahall, Phi Phi Oanh, Krupa Makhija, MJ Lee or Kay Zhang.
“WE MUST FOSTER GROUND, REGIONALLY AND IN THE WORLD”
Carlos Marreiros says that it is not yet time to fulfill the ambition previously expressed, to extend the biennial to cities in the Greater Bay. “No, it’s impossible for the moment. We must foster ground, regionally and in the world, gain experience, and then also open the event to the Greater Bay, of course. But the pandemic does not allow for any of these intentions to manifest. And at this very moment, even though we already have the facilities guaranteed, artists’ presence will be complicated”.
If the first edition did not present a thematic aggregating element, this year’s edition proposed the artists to respond to a theme through their visual and plastic conception: “Natura”. “We were very brave, in a second edition of the biennial to start with a theme. The first edition went very well, it had no theme, it was generic. In this second edition, the artists worked on the theme ‘Natura’. ‘Natura’ allows a wide range of plastic interpretations, such as aspects of environmental protection, which is an issue on the world agenda”.
A concept of a Latin matrix reached in a dialogue between curators, ‘Natura’ arose at a time when environmental issues were at the center of the debate. “When we discussed the organization of this biennial, in 2019, it made perfect sense, especially due to issues including the Amazon fires, global warming, and other concerns that, worldwide, marked last year, and generally, the last years. Because of Covid-19, these issues have been slightly overlooked this year. ‘Natura’ is a current topic; it affects all of us, in the present and in the future, because the life of the planet is at stake. In addition to these issues, it also allows for more symbolic aspects and plastic research on the symbolism of Mother Earth through ethnic and folkloric manifestations from the entire world, from Europe to the United States, throughout Asia. These aspects allow the theme to be developed visually”, points out the architect.
PAULA REGO, HONORARY GODMOTHER
In addition to Marreiros, the curatorship of the biennial also includes Alice Kok, Angela Li Zhenxiang, James Chu, and Leonor Veiga. In the inaugural edition, Paula Rego served as godmother the event. She was represented in Macao by her daughter Victoria Willing. The Portuguese painter, who has lived in London for decades, remains associated as an honorary godmother, for ARTFEM 2020. “This year we wanted to expand to more godmothers, so we invited Xiang Jing, who is from Beijing, to act as Godmother. A high-quality artist, Xiang Jing has a brilliant international career. She is a sculptor, she makes sculptures of naked, bald women, of varying dimensions, on a human scale or larger, alone or grouped in theme. These are extremely hyper-real sculptures; she goes into the detail of painting the veins, the pores, and objectively debates the issues of women, in China and in the world”, describes the chairman of the organizing committee.
But Xiang Jing is not alone. “We have for the first time a godmother from Macao, the painter Un Chi Iam, Mio Pang Fei’s wife. We want Paula Rego to be an honorary godmother since she was the first, and she liked the event”.
