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 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 expression that people like, reawaken people’s love and attention to the countryside, the place of residence of ancestors, so that the increasingly empty villages will be revitalized and revitalized, so that rural development will 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 to carry out artistic practice of rural cultural revitalization, planned the “Writing the Earth, Poetry and the Distant” work report exhibition, 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. We hope to awaken villagers’ confidence in the local culture of Komiks 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. Facing the original place where our ancestors live for generations, how can we use the artistic talents we have mastered to create and realize our vision, and make this fertile land a beautiful spiritual home that is suitable for business and living. In order to avoid simple graffiti phenomena in local art creations that have been done in the past, our activities adhere to the concept of symbiosis between people and themselves, and according to local conditions, we should try our best to explore the greatest advantages of local natural resources, so that art can adapt to 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 conceptions and energy storage are put 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? What inspirational significance does the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest” have 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 by Xichuan, “Dream in the Flying Literary Text”. Although the three of us talk about “bamboo forest” and “Seven Sages”, the profiles are different and the meanings to express differently. Therefore, our work “Source Bamboo in the 5G era” was born: For the 5G era, everyone is the “Seven Sages”, but they are different. Everyone has a personal 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 people” series, which uses the spiritual power given by rural daily life scenes and objects as cultural background, and uses local idle resources as the basic media 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 the daily life of rural areas. However, decades ago, these objects were necessary tools for our daily lives. The land gods, door gods, etc. of rural customs and habits were almost gone in modern urban life…… Rural life established a “familiar stranger” for modern people!
After inspiring the teacher and checking the historical background of those daily necessities and local customs and customs, the creation works have not yet been published. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>CinemaFurniture, our hearts were baptized first.
《Song of the Rice Cart》
“Door 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-wonderful days today, and trigger praise for a happy life.
“Good Days”
“Water Dragon Song” is a set of ancient and modern regular poems that chant water wheels in the traditional expression form of Babaylan calligraphy and old water wheels, which 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. The display of traditional seal carving art is usually made by using a seal screen or enlarging the print and physical objects in the exhibition hall. The display outside the “tea hall” is a testament to people. After examining the field environment, we follow the trend and flexibly combine it to allow multiple works<a The large square array combined by Cinema and the small square array of personal works play a different visual display advantage, echoing the size and seeing each other's heights, presenting it in a "verified the present" way. I hope that people can have another touch when they go back and forth between different groups.
“Certification of the World”
“Red Brick Introduction”, whether the extension of traditional calligraphy can be connected with contemporary artBabaylan is one of the topics that the author has been exploring hard.
“Red Brick Introduction”
“Green Mountains and Green Waters Ancient and Modern Times” series presents our understanding and appeals for green mountains and green waters.
“The Day of the Day of the Mountains and Waters”
“Komiks Maybe a bunch of “bad words””, trying to unify Internet buzzwords with humor and ridicule, deep thought and joke, funny and “sovereignty”. From the necessary words for online communication to becoming the current catchphrase, “alternative” enriches the lives of people in contemporary society. This is the contradiction between tradition and innovation, restraint and ostentatiousness. Because of this trendy Internet language, there are rules for using words, game-style language, grammatical errors, vulgarity, etc. The problem of href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks determines the impossibility of its life cycle, and it is even a flash in the pan, but it is a replica of every day and every person in today’s society. It is the observation of certain phenomena. Some words are even rebellious, innovative, and hype.
“Maybe it’s a bunch of “bad words””
Cinema “Open the Folded Book” is a dictionary, which is an external compilation of “Modern Chinese Dacihai”, which includes Internet buzzwords in “non-canon” way. The meaning of this title is two: one is the meaning of “folding”. It is popular now or once popular, and with the passage and change of time and space, it is constantly obscured or appears and overlaps, or overlaps; the other is “Open”. All the “popular” memories in “Modern Chinese Dacihai” are written outside compilation of “Modern Chinese Dacihai”, each word is a big event, a small story, or an unforgettable memory. Through the work “Open the Folded Book”, I hope to repair memories, forget memories, and mourn or pay tribute to memories.
“Opening the Folded Book”
We hope to transform our full affection for the countryside and the earth into the light of ideals through the daily things in the countryside, and transform our works into works of Babaylan to infect and inspire people. We express our feelings for traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting, and carry ancient oriental culture with a new medium through the display of calligraphy, painting and printing art. It is also a unique presentation, either behavior, concept, or installation. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks may be just an exploration.
Through this practice, we believe that if the traditional calligraphy and painting form is reset to a living space without villagers, is it a bit confusing that “whether the skin is gone, will it be uncoordinated? href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks also affects the appreciation of the artistic quality of the works. How to expand the exhibition site is a very worthy topic in the construction of art villages. Through this practice, we also believe that in addition to interior layout, it is also feasible to expand the exhibition site outdoors.
There is “Topology” in geometry, which is about certain space.The spatial transformation in Babaylan is a new display space for our work display space as the location of the work changes, which is called the “land topology” method. In Yijian Village, using a work display form that comes into contact with 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 others can only be short-term due to environmental relations, and they all have their own characteristics. Even in a moment, the good 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 people’s energy 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, which means we want to awaken people’s memories and contribute to rural revitalization together.
