Around China In One Website


The Art Games Begin


 
 

Believe it or not, some of those who reside in Beijing are put off by the sports fever about to grip their city. What are games, they ask, compared to the arts? What can Olympic revelry offer the sensitive soul?

 

If you sympathize, then stop sniffing that daisy, wipe your tears, and pay a visit to the China Art Gallery, in the National Art Museum north of famous Wangfujing Street. It's the site of the Third Beijing International Art Biennale.

 

Over 700 pieces from 700 hundred artists representing 81 countries revolve around the theme of "Colors & Olympism". Have the Olympics spawned a belief system meriting the suffix '-ism'? Why not. Compared to the vibrant works below, words are vague things at best, easily overlooked. "Colors are just like the beautiful rainbow connecting our dreams with reality, as well as art with the Olympics," said Feng Yuan, deputy chair of the China Federation of the Literary and Arts Circles, to prove it.
