About Jump Through Hoops

The 2012 Olympics has captured the world's hearts as athletes demonstrate seemingly superhuman abilities, exhibiting their years of training. Hosting this year's Olympics, London is given a chance to showcase itself as well by receiving guests from across the globe. Tracing back to the ancient Greeks in 8th century BC, the Olympics symbolizes a bridging of gaps between nations, and a test of mental, physical, and emotional strength for the athletes competing.

This selection of artworks conjures the spirit of the Olympics, from the hustle and bustle of multiculturalism in Donald Baechler's Lincoln Center Global, to the historical significance of victory captured by Tobias Kenne's Nike, and a playful representation of the competitive spirit in David Shrigley's Aim High. The works in this collection are perfect for marking this collision of national pride and athletic achievement.
