EGGSPRESSION

Eggspression – An Immersive Art Experience

Egg, the humble symbol of life, new beginnings, wellness, love, wisdom, and boundless energy takes center stage in a captivating exhibition titled “Eggspression - An Immersive Art Experience” organized by Galaxy Entertainment Group. Spanning across the Galaxy Promenade, Galaxy Macau™, this exhibition invites you to crack open the hidden marvels of life, the power of art, the magic of love, and the wonders of sustainability in this whimsical, thought-provoking journey and contemplate the profound connection between art, life, and our world.

In this exhibition, we are thrilled to present Dutch public installation artist Henk Hofstra and his mesmerizing installations, "Eggs Fall from the Sky".  This Macau debut is also the first time these installations are presented indoors. The creative and large-scale egg art installations not only capture attention, but also aim to raise awareness about global warming. Radiating with positive power, these installations captivate visitors of all ages through its creative shapes of frying egg whites strategically placed throughout Galaxy Promenade and GalaxyArt, guiding us towards the heart of the exhibition. Symbolizing the inception of love and life, the “Kissing Eggs” installation which resembles the profile of a couple, stands out as a memorable piece. Additionally, Henk has created the “Loving Birds” especially for this exhibition in the Galaxy Promenade. Adorned with flower petals, clouds and trees, these works embody the essence of life, love, wholesomeness, and energy. These interactive installations invite you to engage and play, fostering a deeper connection with the artwork.

The second part of this exhibition is the whimsical and Instagram-worthy "The Egg House" at GalaxyArt. Led by its founder Biubiu Xu, The Egg House is an art installation launched with a group of artists and designers based in New York City. It combines immersive environment, interactive exhibits, and playful aesthetics to create a unique and engaging experience for visitors. Within its walls, a harmonious blend of interactive egg-themed features awaits, ingeniously integrated into different areas of a house - from the living room and bedroom to the kitchen and bathroom. Prepare to immerse yourself fully in this imaginative setting as you are not only encouraged but invited to touch, feel, and engage with your surroundings.

Through the Eggspression exhibition, our intention is to inspire visitors to contemplate the profound significance of eggs as symbols of positive living. Join us in celebrating the remarkable qualities of eggs, while reflecting on the power of art, the magic of love, the wonders of sustainability, and their impact on both our human connections and the planet. Embark on this captivating egg journey, where imagination meets artistry, and wonder awaits at every turn. Let Eggspression be your guide as you embrace the art of expressing yourself through eggs at Galaxy Macau.

The Egg House

The Egg House is a captivating multi-sensory experience created by Biubiu Xu, Founder of Sense Creation Inc. who leads a young creative group of innovators, designers, and artists based in New York City. Vivian Cai, an iF Design Award winner and serves as the key creative curator, representing Biubiu Xu and bringing The Egg House to Macau this year.

The Egg House made its remarkable debut in April 2018 as the first egg-themed pop-up space in New York, with subsequent openings in Shanghai and Los Angeles in 2019, and attracting over 200,000 visitors, captivating audiences of all ages, including celebrities and social media influencers.

Biubiu Xu's inspiration for the Egg House was born out of a serendipitous moment during an egg-filled brunch. The Egg House is a house full of dreams and fantasies, providing a whimsical escape from the busy concrete city and offering a shareable, fun experience for friends and family.

The Egg House is built on the dreams of an egg named "Ellis," a character who bears a striking resemblance to "Alice," evoking the enchanting and dreamlike quality of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Just as Alice's journey ultimately proved to be a dream, the Egg House installation itself is a manifestation of Ellis's own imaginative reverie.
