Boers-Li画廊荣幸地向您宣布，在今年八月北京奥运会期间，由中国艺术家陈劭雄、韩国艺术家Gimhongsok（金泓锡）、日本艺术家Tsuyoshi Ozawa及其家人组成的“西京人”团队将在画廊的小展厅举办名为“西京奥林匹克”的群展。这场由三位艺术家诠释和组织的在草场地举办的“奥林匹克”将与众所周知的北京奥林匹克运动会同时进行。
机缘巧合的是在一年前，这三位艺术家就提出了“西京”的概念（“西京”是艺术家们想象中的城市。相对于地理位置上处于东面的城市东京，处于北面的城市北京，和处于南面的城市南京，“西京”位于西面）。三位艺术家希望通过五个艺术项目来“建造”出这座想象中的城市，其中作为第一个项目的影像装置作品已经在北京、广州、首尔及爱尔兰展出。
“西京奥运会”作为第二个艺术项目，由21个运动竞赛单元组成。三位艺术家及其家人将组织并亲自参与和完成这些项目。其中的竞赛活动包括西瓜足球赛、地铁马拉松赛及按摩院拳击赛等。
比赛期间，艺术家们将全身心投入，但也决定所有比赛没有胜负之分。艺术家们希望通过这个虚拟的城市奥运会，可以显示出其与真实的北京奥林匹克的一些相反的特性，即谦逊、简单、亲密。
在“西京奥运会”的比赛阶段，画廊将提供一定的观摩名额给有兴趣的媒体朋友。请有意者提前和画廊联系预约。
让世界了解西京，让西京走向世界！
西京欢迎您！
西京奥林匹克期待您的到来！

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.
