NY Arts Magazine Presents: Art Olympics, 1,000 CHINESE ARTISTS ON VIEW AT THE CHELSEA ART MUSEUM IN NEW YORK

In the run-up to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese have been breaking records: from the longest Olympic torch relay ever (climbing to the top of Mount Everest), to an extravagant opening ceremony with the most ebullient firework display known to man, and even the longest piece of street art in China. With 1.5 million foreigners expected to attend, the Summer Olympics showcases China's rich culture, art and architecture with a variety of international satellite events and exhibitions.

To celebrate, not only the events going on in Beijing this month—but also the nation's innovative and rapid evolution within the global art world, NY Arts Magazine will present an exhibition of 1,000 Chinese artists at the Chelsea Art Museum this week, with an opening reception on Thursday, July 17th. This dynamic exhibition will be on display at the museum for the rest of the summer.
The exhibition features not only emerging artists of China but also the leading Chinese avant-garde artists—artists who are having a major influence on the development of contemporary art in China today.

In the past five years Chinese artists have emerged after years of containment by the strictures of the national ideology. The Western art world, hungry for new spectacle, has consumed the new art with an appetite, but the art is changing so fast the Western viewer has little means of assessing or understanding the background to these extraordinary developments. The city of Beijing alone has a wealth of creative offerings ranging from cutting-edge contemporary art to decadent imperial treasures. The creative center is the Bauhaus-style 798 Art District (part of the larger Da Shan Zi Art District), is a one-stop shop for art enthusiasts, including galleries, artist studios and project spaces. Not only limited to the 798, China has also developed major art centers in over a dozen cities, with whole communities of artists springing up overnight, and more artists graduating than the U.S. and Europe combined China is getting more international acclaim than any nationality has received before.

With an extensive knowledge of China's art scene and a strong background in promoting and discovering artists from China, NY Arts has been playing a major role in presenting Chinese artists' works both nationally and internationally for over ten years. The exhibition highlights the most significant contemporary global arts movement in half a century, making contemporary Chinese art accessible to a global audience. By presenting this exhibition, NY Arts allows the New York art-going public to enjoy and become familiar with the fascinating contemporary Chinese art scene.

With a plethora of mediums included in the vast collection—from painting and sculpture, to installation and photography the exhibition is an interactive visual experience that can be continued long after the viewer leaves the museum. Thousands of artists can be found on the NY Arts Magazine and NY Arts Beijing websites.
