Ghazi Stadium (Pashto: غازی لوبغالی) (Persian: ورزشگاه غازى‎) is a multi-purpose stadium in Kabul, Afghanistan. It was built during the reign of King Amanullah Khan in 1923, who was regarded as Ghazi (Hero) for winning the war with British and gaining independence of his nation after the 1919 Treaty of Rawalpindi. The stadium holds 25,000 people.

The Ghazi Stadium was renovated in 2011 after the entire ground was removed and replaced with new soil and artificial turf placed on top. The stadium now holds bigger sporting events. The proposed construction of a new national stadium to be completed for the 2013/2014 season will cost 25 million euros.

The first international match played inside Ghazi Stadium was a football (soccer) match between Afghanistan and Iran on January 1, 1941, the game was a draw with neither team scoring.

During the late 1990s the stadium was used as a venue for public executions by the Taliban government. The stadium is currently used mostly for football matches between teams from different provinces of the country as well as neighboring countries.

Paul Ramirez Jonas (b. 1965, California) is a contemporary artist whose work currently explores the potential between artist and audience, artwork and public. Many of Ramirez Jonas' projects use pre-existing texts, models, or materials to reenact or prompt actions and reinsert himself into his own audience. His works have been exhibited internationally, most recently in the 53rd Venice Biennale.

In 1987, Ramirez Jonas graduated with a BA from Brown University, and went on to earn his MFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1989. He teaches at Hunter College. He currently lives and works in New York and is married to fellow RISD alumnus Janine Antoni.

Ramirez Jonas has said of his work:

"I create as I speak: I consider myself merely a reader of texts. The pre-existing text I treat as a score: a diary, an old photo, a footpath, music, etc. The reading can take the form of performance, sculpture, photo, or video. Thus, a musical score results in a sculpture, a diary, in a video, or the plans for a flying machine in a photo. In my works, what looks like invention is but re-enactment. Being a reader, don't I have more in common with the public than with the author? I find that commonality in working with pre-existing materials."
