(Macau SAR, August 1, 2023) - Galaxy Entertainment Group ("GEG") has set up the BE@RBRICK MACAU - World’s First Immersive BE@RBRICK Art Exhibition, one of the special exhibitions of the "Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2023" ("Art Macao 2023"), in multiple areas within Galaxy Macau™ Integrated Resort, including GalaxyArt, Pearl Lobby, and the outdoor lawn near Diamond Lobby from now until September 22, 2023, providing international visitors and the public with a cutting-edge art and cultural experience. 

"Art Macao 2023" is an international artistic extravaganza organized by the Macau Special Administrative Region government, bringing together resources from various local sectors and creative forces from around the world to create a city-wide biennial brand with large-scale exhibitions. Among them, BE@RBRICK MACAU - World’s First Immersive BE@RBRICK Art Exhibition stands out as the most extensive BE@RBRICK themed exhibition ever seen in Macau. Organized by GEG, co-organized by Forward Fashion Group and curated by BE@RBRICK MACAU, the exhibition collaborates with over 10 international and local art units led by renowned Japanese artist Tatsuhiko Akashi, CEO of MEDICOM TOY and emerging Macau local artist MCZ_Thomas. The entire exhibition will showcase over 50 art pieces, aiming to deliver a refreshing exhibition experience through innovative technology, interactive experience, and immersive atmosphere.

As one of the highlights of the exhibition, GalaxyArt will be transformed into an immersive exhibition space for full engagement. As you step into the exhibition hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the BE@RBRICK MACAU 5th-anniversary display, offering fans a rare and delightful opportunity to revisit the highlights from previous years. Adjacent to it is the global debut of the BE@RBRICK digital art exhibit, pushing boundaries by using digital technology to interpret selected BE@RBRICK designs and creating a genuine interactive experience.

At the heart of the hall lies the ingeniously designed “BE@RBRICK Garden” Mirror Room and “BE@RBRICK Infinity” Immersive Room. These areas feature multifaceted, dazzling reflections and all-encompassing light projections, captivating the audiences in a mysterious and enchanting space, offering an immersive experience surrounded by the world of BE@RBRICK. Another highlight is the special edition BE@RBRICK 1000% created by Macau artist MCZ_Thomas, which incorporates elements that symbolize Macau, craftsmanship and the galaxy, expressing the artist's deep thinking about humanity, the universe, and the future. Moreover, the artist will also personally host the “MCZ_Thomas Master Class - Graffiti Art Painting” tote bag graffiti workshops every weekend during the exhibition period. 

While the BE@RBRICK exhibition located in the Pearl Lobby, forms an urban oasis where natural foliage meets sci-fi gradient lighting. A full showcase of 12 limited edition BE@RBRICKs from the brand-new BE@RBRICK MACAU 2023 collections is interspersed within, leading the visitors to explore their inner Surreal Garden. Visitors can also interact to get BE@RBRICK themed filters, or to take and print photos with BE@RBRICK element as souvenir. And another must-see highlight is a stunning, world-first and tallest MY FIRST BE@RBRICK B@BY 10000% towering at over 7 meters. Located at the resort's Outdoor Lawn near Diamond Lobby, this supersized inflatable art installation provides the perfect backdrop for capturing trendy photos that are destined to make a splash on social media.

As a long-term and non-profit art space, GalaxyArt has been dedicated to supporting the diverse development of local culture in Macau since its unveiling in July 2021. It actively cooperates with the Macau SAR Government and related institutions to carry out various art and culture activities, which fully showcases GEG’s attention to the development of culture and arts in Macau. The BE@RBRICK MACAU - World's First Immersive BE@RBRICK Art Exhibition also marks the 3rd consecutive time that GEG has participated in Art Macao. In addition, GEG has incorporated educational elements into Art Macao 2023, extending it for the first time to the Galaxy International Convention Center. A forum on 《Power of Art - Contemporary Art & Fashion: A Driving Force of the Cultural Industry Development》 will be held, providing an opportunity for in-depth exchanges among industry professionals.
