由澳门基金会主办的澳门艺术家推广计划“隙间——百强作品展”于8月3日至13日在澳门教科文中心展览厅举办，展览展出澳门艺术家百强的艺术作品约60件，同时首发《隙间——百强作品集》。澳门中联办文化教育部副部长级助理邵彬，澳门基金会行政委员会主席吴志良，婆仔屋文创空间主席马若龙，澳门资深艺术工作者吴卫鸣，澳门欧洲研究学会主席麦健智，澳门创意空间总监卢西亚·勒莫斯以及本次展览策展人、“常越美术”机构创办人常越出席展览开幕式。百强举办此次作品展，是希望观众可以暂时忘掉时间，缩小至蚂蚁的体型，到访“隙间”里漫游一番。“隙间”指的是人与人之间、物与物之间、事与事之间、时空与时空之间以及人、物、事、时空之间都存在无数的裂缝，既有不完美的意思，也是生机展现的空间，而空间的大小就取决于观点与角度。在自由散落、密密麻麻的线条交错下有着一个又一个大大小小的隙间，这些隙间代表自由，绽放生机，有如中国画常常提倡的留白之美。

“Crack—Forte Pakeong Sequeira’s Artworks” exhibition, part of “Macao Artists Promotion Plan” sponsored by Macao Foundation, was held at Exhibition Hall of Macao Center of Education, Science and Culture from August 3 till 13. Along with this exhibition consisting of some 60 selected works by Macao artist Forte Pakeong Sequeira, the same-name album was issued simultaneously.

Distinguished guests such as Mr. SHAO Bin, assistant director of Department of Culture and Education of Central Liaison Office in Macao, Mr. WU Zhiliang,president of Macao Foundation, Mr. Carlos Marreiros, president of Albergue SCM, Mr. UNG Vai Meng, a senior artist in Macao, José Luis De Sales Marques,president of Institute of European Studies of Macao, Lucia Lemos, director of Creative Macao, Lucie Chang, curator of this exhibition as well as founder of Lucie Chang Fine Arts, attended the opening ceremony.

With this exhibition, the author intended to bring audiences, in temporary oblivion of time existence, into a minimum perspective of a tiny ant during a tour of various cracks. Cracks have indicate different countless fractures between people, objects, stories, time and space, which showcase imperfection as well as living dimensions whose size can be expanded or narrowed according to views and perspectives. Those freely scattering lines bring about one crack after another in different sizes, which represents freedom and living vitality just like the aesthetic blank advocated in traditional Chinese painting.
