An exhibition of modern Chinese art, entitled "Beijing-Athens", opened
at the Athens Municipality's Technopolis multi-plex on Monday, running
until May 26. The exhibition was organised with the support of the
Greek embassy in Beijing.
Works of art (paintings, sculptures, videos, photography and designs)
by 40 of the most representative modern Chinese artists are on display,
with many of the artists in the Greek capital to attend Monday's
opening, which will be inaugurated by Foreign Minister Dora
Bakoyannis.
The unprecedented, by Greek standards, event, is one of the biggest
ever exhibitions of modern Chinese artists abroad.
The exhibition's curator is noted Chinese art critic Xin Dong Cheng.
