Boers-Li畫廊榮幸地向您宣布，在今年八月北京奧運會期間，由中國藝術家陳劭雄、韓國藝術家Gimhongsok（金泓錫）、日本藝術家Tsuyoshi Ozawa及其家人組成的“西京人”團隊將在畫廊的小展廳舉辦名為“西京奧林匹克”的群展。這場由三位藝術家詮釋和組織的在草場地舉辦的“奧林匹克”將與眾所周知的北京奧林匹克運動會同時進行。
機緣巧合的是在一年前，這三位藝術家就提出了“西京”的概念（“西京”是藝術家們想象中的城市。相對于地理位置上處于東面的城市東京，處于北面的城市北京，和處于南面的城市南京，“西京”位于西面）。三位藝術家希望通過五個藝術項目來“建造”出這座想象中的城市，其中作為第一個項目的影像裝置作品已經在北京、廣州、首爾及愛爾蘭展出。
“西京奧運會”作為第二個藝術項目，由21個運動競賽單元組成。三位藝術家及其家人將組織并親自參與和完成這些項目。其中的競賽活動包括西瓜足球賽、地鐵馬拉松賽及按摩院拳擊賽等。
比賽期間，藝術家們將全身心投入，但也決定所有比賽沒有勝負之分。藝術家們希望通過這個虛擬的城市奧運會，可以顯示出其與真實的北京奧林匹克的一些相反的特性，即謙遜、簡單、親密。
在“西京奧運會”的比賽階段，畫廊將提供一定的觀摩名額給有興趣的媒體朋友。請有意者提前和畫廊聯系預約。
讓世界了解西京，讓西京走向世界！
西京歡迎您！
西京奧林匹克期待您的到來！

Xijing Olympics: An Exhibition by the Xijing Men Collective
Chen Shaoxiong, Gimhongsok, Tsuyoshi Ozawa
Opening and competitions: 8.8.08 – 8.16.08
Public exhibition: 8.17.08 – 8.29.08
Opening reception: Wednesday 8.16.08, 6:00 PM
Boers-Li Gallery is pleased to announce that our gallery showcase space will feature a group exhibition by the Xijing Men, consisting of Chen Shaoxiong, Gimhongsok, and Tsuyoshi Ozawa and their families, during the period of the Beijing Olympics in August 2008. Entitled Xijing Olympics, the three artists will enact their own version of the games in Caochangdi to run parallel to the better-known events in central Beijing.
In a remarkable series of coincidences dating to one year ago, each of the three artists encountered the concept of Xijing (that is to say, a western capital to accompany the eastern, northern, and southern cities of Tokyo/Dongjing, Beijing, and Nanjing). The artists have since elected to rebuild their imaginary city in a series of five projects, the first of which was a video installation that screened in Beijing, Guangzhou, Seoul, and Ireland.
For the second phase of their project, the artists will personally organize and engage in 21 Olympic-style, sport-themed competitions with occasional assistance from their family members. They include, for example, a football game with a watermelon, a marathon in the subway, and a boxing match while the players are being massaged.
The artists, who have pledged their earnest daily participation in the event, have decided not to recognize any winners in any competitions. Instead, they will emphasize modesty, simplicity, intimacy—the precise opposite of the Beijing Olympics.
There will be limited opportunities for media viewing during the event. Please contact the gallery for arrangements.
Let the world understand Xijing, and to let Xijing go out into the world!
Xijing welcomes you!
The Xijing Olympics await your arrival.
