New Forms of Calligraphy in China: A Contemporary Culture Mirror

Descripción del proyecto

Usar la caligrafía para desvelar cómo la escritura contribuyó a conformar China

La escritura, y la caligrafía en particular, son una parte importante de la historia y la cultura chinas. En los tiempo modernos, la caligrafía ha evolucionado radicalmente, dando origen a formas de arte únicas que desempeñan un papel esencial en la expresión creativa. El proyecto WRITE, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende investigar cómo esas nuevas formas de caligrafía surgieron, se desarrollaron y contribuyeron a conformar la cultura y el arte chino contemporáneo. Para lograrlo, se utilizará un enfoque multidisciplinar que tiene como objetivo desvelar cómo la caligrafía ha conformado la identidad moderna china y cómo refleja los importantes cambios económicos y sociales por los que ha pasado el país a lo largo de las últimas décadas.

Objetivo

Calligraphy is a central tenet of Chinese civilization. The whole history of China is strictly linked to the history of its writing and calligraphy. In contemporary times Calligraphy has undergone a radical change and it has evolved into new forms in all fields of visual and performing arts. WRITE will explore how all these forms emerged in: (F1) fine and contemporary arts where it became a naf painting made of pictographic shapes of characters, an abstract combination of dots and lines, a light-calli-photograph, an artistic video based on digital strokes; (F2) decorative and applied arts, where the characters lost their connection with the linguistic meaning to become decorative elements used for commercial scopes or to design architectures; (F3) performing arts, where the rhythm, dynamism and harmonic movement of calligraphy became a choreographic gesture of a contemporary ballet or an improvised jazz song; (F4) graffiti art, where the presence of calligraphy along the streets evolved from Maoist propaganda posters into graffiti pieces made of wild-style characters or cursive tags. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, WRITE will analyze how these new forms have been transforming not only the creative practice of contemporary artists but also the language about calligraphy and art (F5/F6), reflecting new socio-political (F7) and economic (F8) orders. WRITE will examine the innovative ways in which these new forms of calligraphy have responded to, subverted or reinterpreted traditional idioms to define a modern artistic identity that exists comfortably within the global art world while remaining indelibly Chinese. By looking at contemporary calligraphy, WRITE will reveal how these new forms powerfully resonate with Chinas rich and enduring cultural tradition and at the same time mirror the sweeping social and economic changes that have taken place in China during the last four decades.
