ABOLISH THE OLYMPICS
Pony Express and Contemporary Art Tasmania present Abolish the Olympics, an exhibition and live-streamed performance about the movement to cancel the Olympic Games forever.
In this bootleg Olympiad, Pony Express will face off in a punishing, condensed variation of 33 summer sports: from archery to wrestling, opening ceremony to closing ceremony. The artists act simultaneously as coaches, athletes, spectators, and commentators, sparring with the beast of cultural boycott from the inside out.
This project was assisted through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for the Arts.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body
Venue: Contemporary Art Tasmania - 27 Tasma St, North Hobart
Performances: 4 pm - 5 pm; Friday, 18 June 2021 - Sunday, 20 June 2021
