The Dalai Lama supports Beijing hosting the Olympics, so I am going to enjoy them.  (Yes, I still feel conflicted.) 

Here is some contemporary Chinese dog art in honor of today's opening ceremonies.  Click on images to see larger size for most.

Hmmmm…everything seems a little grey.  If you are in Beijing, the Chinese Contemporary looks like it's having and excellent group show until August 27, 2008 that includes works by Zhou Chunya and Wu Junyong.

    Wow. Thanks for the info on Chinese dog art. Despite gross humananitarian infractions, they really are an amazing people. I have always been a little obsessed with all things chinese — almost went there after college to teach English, but my boyfriend at the time persuaded me to live with him, instead. One of the few regrets in my life. The “Mask” series is fabulous.

    I love the one up top… This is an amazing site! Someone should give you $20 million to create a museum. Brilliant!
