另外，和以往一樣，由東方基金會設立的第五屆「東方基金會藝術獎」獲獎作品亦已選出，並將於「全藝社秋季沙龍2016」開幕儀式期間公佈及頒獎。當天亦會同時公佈「VAFA國際錄像節」的得獎者。屆時展覽將分作兩個區域，一樓為「全藝社秒季沙龍」參展作品區，而地下則是影像作品區，以播放「VAFA國際錄像節」得獎作品及另外四個優秀作品。
「東方基金會藝術獎」得獎者將獲價值澳門幣五萬元的葡國交流機會，於明年到里斯本進行為期一個月的交流創作。以往「東方基金會藝術獎」得獎者黎小傑（2012年）、霍凱盛（2013年）、黎雪穎（2014年）及翁麗晶（2015年）均取得機會前往葡萄牙與當地的藝術家作文化藝術交流、參觀當地的藝術展覽館，更在里斯本貝倫文化中心舉辦其個人展覽。相信此趟旅程亦讓這些得獎藝術家獲益良多。
全藝社及東方基金會一直為本地、甚至海外的藝術愛好者製造了交流的平臺，提供了互相觀摩學習的機會，讓藝術收藏家選購喜愛的本地藝術作品，亦給予本地的新晉藝術家展示作品的機會。透過舉辦展覽及設立獎項，鼓勵澳門及其他的藝術家能夠堅持藝術創作。
「全藝社秋季沙龍2016」及「VAFA國際錄像節2016」的展出地點為白鴿巢東方基金會，開放時間為上午十時至下午七時，逢星期一及公眾假期休息，展期至十一月三十日。 是次展覽獲澳門特別行政區政府社文化局部份經費贊助。查詢請於辦公時間內致電2836 6064，電郵：[email protected] 或瀏覽全藝社網頁www.afamacau.com。
event details /
videoclub (UK) & Videotage (HK) – Both Sides Now: Final Frontiers
Date: November 19 (Saturday)
Time: 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Venue: Orient Foundation
“Both Sides Now III: Final Frontiers” endeavours to investigate personal experiences, global themes and fractures that need healing through cultural sharing and exchange. The artists in the programme who were born in the UK explore global cultures and are passionate about cultural communication. The Hong Kong programme includes work by diasporic Chinese and expatriates in Hong Kong and China, it aims to make visible fragments of experience and disrupt time, space and continuity. Final Frontiers attempts, through artists’ film and video, to redefine and close the spaces between us.
videoclub（英國）及錄映太奇（香港）：彼岸觀自在III – 最後的邊境
日期：11月19日（星期六）
時間：5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
場地：東方基金會
《彼岸觀自在III – 最後的邊境》旨在探討個人經驗、全球議題，以至需要透過文化交流來修補的裂隙。節目的作品來自流散的華人，以及在香港和中國的外籍人士；令所經驗的片段、被中斷的時間、空間和持續性可見於眼前。最後的邊境嘗試通過藝術家的電影和錄像，重新定義和彌合我們之間的距離。在香港，自由放任學說仍然是一個神話。經濟能保護個人權利的假設，已被引證為錯誤。越來越多人意識到我們一直相信的事物並沒有實現 – 世界某些人對自由主義、民主和自由已經有新的理解。
