Decoding Chinese Calligraphy
Online registration for this program is closed, but there are still seats available. Please come to the Museum and you may pay the $40 fee at the door. We cannot guarantee lunch.
Through the centuries a complex set of rules and traditions evolved, impacting every aspect of the calligrapher’s practice. Within these constraints, creativity and self-expression have remained the goals of the Chinese calligrapher. Prominent scholars gather at the Asian to explore facets of this art in greater depth.
The Symposium will be held in conjunction with the upcoming exhibition Out of Character: Decoding Chinese Calligraphy, October 5, 2012 – January 13, 2013. The exhibition features 40 calligraphies, including 15 noted masterworks, borrowed from Jerry Yang’s collection.
Michael Knight and Joseph Chang from the Asian Art Museum will moderate a panel including Amy McNair, Professor of Chinese Art, University of Kansas; Qianshen Bai, Associate Professor of Asian/Chinese Art, Boston University; Jonathan Chaves, Professor of Chinese, George Washington University; and Peter Sturman, Professor in the Department of History of Art and Architecture, UC Santa Barbara
