Time: 13
July - 10 Sept., 2008
Place: Shen Lian Sub-museum of
GDMOA

“People’s Sports” will be the opening exhibition at the
Shen Lian Sub-museum of GDMOA. Selected from 15000 pieces of work from GDMOA’s
collection, this exhibition will display 208 art pieces which all deal with
ideas about popular athletic sports. Embracing a range of media including
photography, traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, printmaking, sculpture
and folk painting, this exhibition focuses on how primitive mass sports have
been passed down from generation to generation and also between nationalities.
It will also uncover how “imported” foreign sports activities have been
transformed by the Chinese into daily amusements.
