Presented by Sands China and Supported by Marine and Water Bureau, Municipal Affairs Bureau, Macao Government Tourism Office, Cultural Affairs Bureau, Public Security Police Force, and Macao Science Center.
Philip Colbert’s newly created 15-meter-high Lobster Submarine was on public display for the first time at the Macao Science Center facing the sea, drawing international attention to the beauty of Macao’s natural coastline and spreading the message of protecting the marine ecology. The exhibition’s installations not only highlight Colbert’s artistic range but also aim to spark conversations about ecological conservation, a key issue reflected through the Lobster’s journey.
For travellers, this exhibition offers a chance to explore Macao through a fresh, artistic lens. The Lobster installations are designed to draw attention to both the environmental and cultural beauty of the region. By aligning with Macao’s tourism goals to increase awareness of the region’s natural and cultural assets, Sands China has successfully created a platform for fostering deeper connections between visitors and the city’s history and landscapes.
Art-Partners liaised with the artist to manage the successful production and installation of two new floating sculptures, alongside four thematic art sculptures dotting the shore as part of a larger Philip Colbert activation in Macao, marking the largest public art takeover by a single artist in Macao.
