The countryside of China is a vast and vibrant fertile soil. Although it is not as orderly and prosperous as urban planning and construction, the unique natural scenery of the countryside, the unique cultural styles of the countryside, the unique village residential buildings, rural customs, and other unique cultural styles, despite the continuous erosion of years, are still standing on the vast land of the motherland. “Homesickness” has become the “memory” that people are looking for now. How to intervene in rural cultural construction in a form of popular expressions, reawaken people’s love and attention to the countryside, the place of residence of ancestors, and the countryside, so that the increasingly empty villages can be revitalized and revitalized, so that rural development can be sustainable, and realize the activation and value-added rural idle resources, so that the majority of villagers have a real sense of gain in economic benefits and cultural life, thereby empowering rural cultural construction. This is the question we are thinking about.
Recently, we went into the countryside, carried out artistic practice of rural cultural revitalization, planned the report exhibition of works “Writing the Earth, Poetry and the Distant”, and explored the creation and display path of rural cultural revitalization – “art rural construction”.
In this “art rural construction” practice, we pay special attention to the “roots” of rural culture and the local artistic creation style, and hope to awaken villagers’ confidence in their local culture through expressing traditional rural culture. This is a challenge. For us studio students who use traditional calligraphy, painting and printing art, I think this is not only a challenge, but also a kind of nirvana. It is to cultivate our ability to understand, perceive and understand the countryside. Faced with the places where our ancestors lived for generations, how can we use the artistic talents we have mastered to create and realize our vision, so that this fertile land butterfly becomes a beautiful spiritual home, suitable for business and living. In order to avoid simple graffiti in local art creations that have been done in the past, our activities are adhering to the concept of symbiosis between people and themselves, adapt to local conditions, try to explore the greatest advantages of local natural resources, let art adapt to the environment, let the environment create an artistic atmosphere, light up art, and strive to integrate art and the environment. At the same time, the nourishment of art is silent, and all our artistic concepts and storage are maximized./comicmov.com/”>Cinema can be put into practice this time.
Our works are all selected from traditional calligraphy and painting and printing art for interpretation.
The performance art of “Bamboo Planting in the 5G Era” was developed by the author’s association with the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Planting” from a local bamboo forest. At that time, I thought, who is the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Planting” now? Can the representative “Seven Sages of Bamboo Planting” be found in the contemporary era? Even if it is found, what is the problem? Is it necessary? What is the inspirational significance of the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Planting” for the present?” Some things are just coincidental. At that time, I happened to read an article by Mr. Wu Hongliang on Chinese painting, titled “Seed Bamboo Planting in the 5G Era”, which is also derived from a sentence in a poem by Xichuan, “Dreams of the Agile Words”. Although the three of us talk about “bamboo forest” and “Seven Sages”, the profiles are different and the meanings to express are different. Therefore, our work “Bamboo Seeds in the 5G Era” produced: In the 5G Era, everyone is the “Seven Sages” and it is different. Everyone has their own side. Although things are connected, connected and connected, how should everyone’s heart be connected?
“Bamboo Seeds in the 5G Era”
“Food is the most important thing for the people” series, which uses the spiritual power given by the scenes and objects of rural daily life as a cultural background, and uses local idle resources as the basic media to create. As urbanized, we are almost unfamiliar with these stoves that use wood to make fire, rice trucks, water trucks on foot, and stone mills on hand in the countryside. However, decades ago, these objects were essential tools for our daily lives. The land gods, door gods, etc. that are used in rural customs and habits are almost dying in modern urban life… Rural life has established modern people’s “familiar strangers”!
After inspiring the teacher and looking up the historical background of those daily necessities, local customs and customs, the creation of works was not yet released, and our hearts were baptized first.
《Song of the Rice Cart》
《Gate God》
The “Good Days”, one of the series “Good Days”, is an installation that uses villagers’ houses as space and uses the Kitchen God culture as the source. It hopes to arouse people’s association with farming civilization for thousands of years, alert people to the issue of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then perceive the hard-won Babaylan of today’s beautiful days, and trigger praise for a happy life.
“Good Days”
“Water Dragon Sound” confirms a set of ancient and modern regular poems that chant water wheels in the expression of traditional calligraphy with the old water wheels, so that it can be appreciated, readable, and can also be imaginative. Especially the calligraphy works written in Dong Qichang’s style on the wall complement the water wheels on the ground. The leisurely and leisurely life of people in the farming era seems to be right in front of them.
“Shuilong Yin”
“Certification of the World” is another series of ours. The exhibition of traditional seal carving art is usually made of seal screens or enlargement of prints and physical objects in the exhibition hall. The display outside the “tea hall” is a test of people. After examining the field environment, we go with the flow and flexibly combine them, allowing the large array of works and personal works of multiple people to combine works.The small square array plays the advantages of different visual displays, echoing the size and seeing each other’s heights, and presenting them in a “verified current” way. I hope that people can produce another touch when returning between different groups.
“Certification of the World”
“Red Brick Introduction”, whether the extension of traditional calligraphy can be connected with contemporary art is one of the topics that the author has been striving to explore.
“Red Brick Introduction”
“Green Mountains and Green Waters” series presents our understanding and appeals for green mountains and green waters.
“Maybe it a bunch of “bad words”” tries to dialectically unify Internet buzzwords with humor and ridicule, deep thought and joke, funny and “solemn”. From the must-have words for online communication to becoming the current catchphrase, “alternative” has enriched the lives of people in contemporary society. This is the contradiction between tradition and innovation, restraint and ostentatiousness. Because of the problems of such trendy online languages with standardized characters, game-style language, grammatical errors, vulgarity, etc., it determines the possibility of long-term nature of its life cycle, and it is even a flash in the pan. However, it is a replica of every day and every person in today’s society, and it is the observation of certain phenomena, and some words are even rebellious, innovative, and exaggerated.
“Maybe a bunch of “bad words””
“Open the folded book”, a dictionary – “Modern Chinese Cinema Dacihai”, is included in the “non-canon” method. The title has two meanings: one is the meaning of “folding”. It is popular now or once, and with the passage and changes of time and space, it is constantly obscured or appears and overlaps, or overlaps; the other is “openingBabaylan“. All the “popular” memories in the “Modern Chinese Dacihai” are written outside the compilation of “Modern Chinese Dacihai”, each word is a big event, or a small story, or an unforgettable memory. Through the work “Open the Folded Book”, I hope to repair memories, forget them, and mourn or pay tribute to memories.
“Open and Fold Book”
We hope to transform our deep affection for the countryside and the earth into works through the daily objects of the countryside, and transform wisdom into works to infect and inspire people. We express our feelings to traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting, and through the display of calligraphy, painting and printing, and carry the ancient oriental culture in a new medium. It is also a unique presentation, either behavior, concept, installation, or just an exploration.
Through this practice, we believe that if the display form of art works in the rural construction period is reset to the lack of traditional calligraphy and painting. Is the living space where villagers live a little bit of “whether the hair is left behind?”, or it may appear inconsistent and affect the appreciation of the artistic quality of the works. How to expand the exhibition site is a topic worth studying in the construction of art villages. Through this practice, we also believe that in addition to interior layout, it is feasible to expand the exhibition site to the outdoors.
There is “Topology” in geometry, which talks about the spatial transformation in a certain space. Komiks, which is used by us.In terms of the display space of the product, as the location of the work changes, a new display space has emerged. The author calls it the “land topology”. In the art village, a form of displaying works that is exposed to the rural atmosphere is a good way to be close to the masses.
On-site creation, fully “revitalizing” idle space and old objects, can be opened as part of a rural museum and become a medium for displaying local farming culture, traditional folk customs, and village appearance. Some of the art works in the “land topology” series can be displayed for a long time, while others can only be short due to environmental relations, and they all have their own characteristics. Even in a moment, the light of the light of the feathers also promotes people’s love and desire for a better life. If it can be integrated with culture and tourism, it will surely bring popularity and business opportunities. “Let the city leave memories and let people remember their homesickness.” Through art building, we move writing to the wilderness, to the countryside, and to the land of Komiks, to awaken people’s memories and contribute to rural revitalization together.
