Excited to be at the Berkeley Art Museum Pacific Film Archive (@bampfa BAMPFA) for my Chinese Calligraphy workshop, “Rethinking Abstraction” 1pm, Sunday, May 10th.
.
RSVPs is full; waitlist open. In the Crane forum, bottom of the wooden stairs from the lobby. Anyone can come walk by!
.
Besides handouts and a reading list, we’ll have video projection of my calligraphy demo in real time on the wall (if tech cooperates)!
.
The workshop introduces fundamental techniques, materials, and aesthetics of Chinese calligraphy, focusing on the unique qualities that allow it to simultaneously represent the concrete and express the abstract. No knowledge of Chinese necessary.

I do not believe in straight lines - not when writing calligraphy (except clerical script) and not when parting my hair 彡

meaning in time, both literature and poetry
being and time, one art

In honor of this ancient art, way of seeing and writing, for all the poetry and prose, history, philosophy and aesthetics; and for every teacher who helped me along this path…I teach
