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 village, the unique village residential buildings, rural customs, etc., have been continuously washed away by the years, and still stand 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 countryside, and make the increasingly empty villages revitalize and revitalize, make rural development sustainable, realize the activation and value-added rural idle resources, and enable the majority of villagers to 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://comicmov.com/”>Komiks‘s “Cinema” of rural culture and the local artistic creation style. We hope to awaken villagers’ confidence in their local culture by 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 place where our ancestors lived for generations, how can we use the art they have mastered to create and realize our vision, and make this fertile land a beautiful spiritual home that is suitable for business and living. To avoid the appearance of local art creations that have been done beforeThe single graffiti phenomenon, our activities adhere 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 and moisturize everything, putting all our artistic conceptions and energy storage into this practice to the greatest extent.
Our works are all interpreted by traditional calligraphy, painting and printing art.
The performance art of “Bamboo Seeds in the 5G Era” was sprouted by the author’s association with the “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest” from a local bamboo forest. At that time, I thought, who is the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest” now? Can contemporary times find the representative “Seven Sages”? Even if it is found, what does it mean? Is it necessary? Komiks What is the inspirational significance of the “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest” for the present? “Some things are just so coincidental. At that time, I happened to read an article by Mr. Wu Hongliang studying Chinese painting, titled “Source Bamboo in the 5G era”, which originated from a sentence in a poem “Dream of the Agile Words” in Xichuan. 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 “Source Bamboo in the 5G era” has emerged: For the 5G era, everyone is the “Seven Sages”, but they are different. Everyone has a side of each person. Although things are connected, connected, and connected, how should everyone’s heart be connected?

“Food is the most important thing for the people” series, which uses the spiritual power given by the daily life scenes and objects in rural areas as cultural background, and uses local idle resources as the basic medium for creation. As urbanized, we are almost unfamiliar with these stoves that use wood to make fire, hand-cranked rice trucks, water wheels on foot, and hand-pushed stone mills in rural daily life, but decades ago, these objects were essential tools for our daily lives. Land gods, door gods, etc. in rural customs, href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema almost died in modern urban life….. The countryside Babaylan life established modern people as “familiar strangers”!
TranslationAfter inspiring the teacher and checking the historical background of those daily necessities, local customs and customs, our creative works have not yet been released, and our hearts have been baptized first.
《Song of the Rice Cart》
《Gate God》
The “Good Days” in one of the series “Good Days” is a device that uses villagers’ houses as space and uses the Kitchen God culture as the source. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema aroused people’s association with farming civilization for thousands of years, alerted people to the issue of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then felt that today’s beautiful days were hard-won and triggered praise for a happy life.
“Good Days”
“Water Dragon Sound” is a set of ancient and modern regular poems that chant water wheels in the expression of traditional calligraphy and the old water wheels, so that they can be regarded, readable, appreciated, and 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. Exhibition of traditional seal carving artIt is usually used to use a printing screen or enlarge the printing and present the physical objects in the exhibition hall together. The display outside the “tea hall” is a test of the person. After inspecting the on-site environment, we followed the trend and flexibly combined, allowing the large square arrays of multi-person works and the small square arrays of personal works to give full play to the advantages of different visual display, echoing the size and seeing each other in a “verified current” way. We hope that people’s back and forth between different groups can produce another touch.
“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 worked hard to explore.
“Red Brick Introduction”
“Green Mountains and Green Waters” series presents our understanding and appeals for green mountains and green waters.
“The Day of the Mountains and Waters”
“Maybe a bunch of “bad words””, trying to unify the Internet buzzwords with dialectical humor and ridicule, deep thought and joke, funny and “solemn”, from the online communication, Komiks language, to Cinema has become the catchphrase nowadays, and “alternative” has enriched the lives of people in contemporary society. This is the contradiction between tradition and innovation, restraint and Babaylan‘s ostentatious unity. Because of the problems of such trendy online languages, such as word use, Komiks 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, but it is the daily life of every person in the current society.Reproduction of life 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 Dacihai”, is compiled externally, and includes Internet buzzwords in the “non-canon” way. The title has two meanings: one is the meaning of “folding”. What is popular now or once popular, and as time and space passes and changes, it is constantly obscured or appears and disappears, or overlaps; the second is “open”. All the “popular” memories in the external compilation of “Modern Chinese Dacihai” are a big event, or a small story, or an unforgettable memory. Through the work “Open the Folded Book”, I hope to repair my memory and forget my memory. I also mourn or pay tribute to my memory.
“Open the Folded Book”
We hope to transform our full affection for the countryside and the earth into our ideal light through the daily things in the countryside, and transform our wisdom into works one by one to infect and inspire people. We express our passion to the traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting. Through the display of calligraphy, painting and printing art, we carry ancient oriental culture with a new medium, which is also a unique presentation, either behavior, concept, installation, or just an exploration.
Through this practice, we believe that if the traditional calligraphy and painting form is reset to the living space where the villagers live without Cinema will there be a bit of doubt about “where will the skin be attached to the skin without hair”, it may appear inconsistent, which will also affect the appreciation of the artistic nature of the works. How to expand the development site is a very worthy topic in the art rural construction center. Through this practice, we also believe that the display of artworks is not only indoorsIn addition to the layout, it is also feasible to expand the expansion site outdoors.
There is “Topology” in geometry, which talks about the spatial transformation in a certain space. For the space of our work display, as the position of the work changes, a new display space is born again. The author calls it the “topology of the ground”. In Yijian Village, using a form of display of works that touches the rural atmosphere is a good way to get close to the masses.
On-local creation, fully “revitalizing” idle spaces and old objects, can be opened as part of rural museums and become a medium for displaying local farming culture, traditional folk customs, and village appearance. Some of the artworks in the “Expanding Land Topology” series can be displayed for a long time, while some of them can only be short-lived due to environmental relationships, and they all have their own characteristics. Even in a moment, the auspicious light will also promote people’s love and yearning for a better life. If they can be integrated with culture and tourism, they 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, to the fields to awaken people’s memories and contribute to rural revitalization together.
