Exhibitions have been the central arena for showcasing art pieces since the twentieth century. With this, a strong consciousness of space has become an essential characteristic of calligraphy artists’ creations. The exhibition titled ‘When the Tsunami Comes’ is based on this concept. It signifies not only the vastness of space but also the expansiveness of vision. The exhibition explores how artists respond to the towering white walls through their calligraphic creations and how viewers from different cultural backgrounds perceive these works.
This event features four artists: Bu Zi, Li Maocheng, Wada Hiroshi, and Yu Tongsheng. They have innovated traditional calligraphy by varying scale, script style, content, character count, color, and material. Their works reflect the myriad aspects of contemporary calligraphic art.
The exhibition is open from September 28th to November 2nd. Specific operating hours are subject to the day’s opening status.
