From Mao to Now - Chineses Sports History Art Exhibition
Chinese sport and propaganda posters and contemporary artists' responses to modern China.
Presented by the Sydney Olympic Park Authority to celebrate the Beijing Olympic Games, this historical exhibition provides insights into the events that shaped the lives of millions of Chinese people from the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in August 1949 to the present day.
Featuring the work of 75 artists and three collaborative projects from China, Europe, Australia and the Asia Pacific, the exhibition comprises 65 propaganda posters from the Mao era and contemporary paintings, sculptures, installations and audio visual works that respond to modern China. Discover the history of China’s recent past through this fascinating exhibition.
On display at the historic Armory Gallery, this project is part of a broader program of cultural exchange between host cities of the Olympic Games, initiated by Sydney Olympic Park. The exhibition is curated by Catherine Croll. Every weekend, 28 June - 28 Sept. |
Location: Newington Armory, Jamieson St, Sydney Olympic Park
