Chinese art curator and critic Feng Boyi has been appointed chief curator of Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2025, as announced by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC). The biennale opens on 19 July and runs for three months, featuring six sections including the Main Exhibition, Public Art Exhibition, and City Pavilion. Participating artists include Xu Bing, Ann Hamilton, Gregor Schneider, Bart Hess, and Kasia Molga, with the theme “Hey, what brings you here?”
This appointment matters because Feng Boyi is one of China’s most active independent curators and critics, known for spotlighting experimental and marginalized voices. His leadership brings critical credibility to Art Macao, a biennale founded in 2019 that integrates art into the city’s casino-resorts, museums, and public spaces, helping to elevate Macao’s cultural profile on the international art stage.
