Contemporary Chinese Calligraphy
the ink meditation room
November 8-15, 2025
A space of stillness awaits. You are warmly invited to the Ink Meditation Room, an immersive installation of Contemporary Chinese Calligraphy, from Nov. 8-15.​
​
This unique exhibition is more than a viewing; it is an invitation to slow down, reflect and engage with art. And explore a contemporary interpretation of traditional Chinese calligraphy, around eight foundational characters – including æ°£ (Qi) and essence – themes of change, the boundaries of culture, and the meditative act of creation.
is one line still art?
“su” essence, original state, simplicity, unadorned, quiet and essential, when nothing is added that should not be there.
​
Is a single line still art? This question marks the beginning of my journey into Chinese calligraphy.
​
and There is no space more profound or deep than Chinese calligraphy in which to catch a glimpse of an answer. When one question leads you deeper into the next one, leaving everything out what is not it's core. Nothing to prove, no need to aim for being something else.
just the essence.
