The beginning of the autumn cultural season in Moscow was marked by the opening VI International Exhibition of Calligraphy. The event was a great success in Sokolniki Park from 1 to 10 September, in a pavilion specially built for this large-scale international project. The exhibition featured more than 350 works from 150 calligraphers from over 60 countries.
“The exhibition has become a new record in terms of scale and coverage. This year the selection of participants took place on competitive basis, more than 400 works were sent to us. It became a difficult choice, but unfortunately, even in our large pavilion, we could not accommodate everyone.” commented Alexey Shaburov, project manager of the International Exhibition of Calligraphy.
The exhibition was organized by Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy and Sokolniki Exhibition and Convention Center with the support of Sokolniki Park. During the entire existence of the project, 443 masters from 65 countries of the world presented their works. This year, visitors were able to get acquainted with a large number of new authors: more than half of the masters took part in the exhibition for the first time. For some of them, the 6th International Exhibition of Calligraphy became a debut in their professional creative career.
The exposition presented both traditional and unusual styles of calligraphy. This year, the sections of European, Slavic, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian calligraphy were joined by Mongolian: for the first time, members of the International Association of Mongolian Calligraphy took part in the exhibition, whose works aroused great interest from amateurs and professionals. Another feature of the exposition was the variety of techniques presented: in addition to the usual paper, canvas and parchment, unusual, but already traditional birch bark, one could see sculptural compositions, carving and wood burning, and even calligraphic tapestries.
Among the exhibits were many handwritten books: from one of the main gems of the museum's collection, the handwritten Constitution Russian Federation, and author's artbooks - to the hand-made pages of the "Russian alphabet in the drawings of Marina Khankova" and the stunning richly decorated spreads of the handwritten Bible of St. John by Donald Jackson.
Saint John's Bible- one of the unique exhibits of the exhibition, which could be seen only for 10 days in September. This fully handwritten bible was created over the course of 11 years using medieval tools and techniques: it is written on parchment made from animal skins with handmade quills, inks and pigments. The original of 7 volumes is today kept at the Abbey and University of St. John in the USA. The specially made copies presented at the exhibition are the premiere of the project on the European continent. The organizers are proud that they were able to introduce it to all visitors of the exhibition.
A great impression on the guests of the grand opening was made by performance famous Korean master kim jung chil, who, with a huge brush, right on a large piece of matter spread on the floor, wrote out the hieroglyph "Light". He demonstrated to the audience the power and emotions that the artist puts into each character.
Many distinguished guests attended the opening of the exhibition. Among them are Vladimir Filippov, Deputy Head of the Department of Culture of the City of Moscow; Lyubov Dukhanina, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education and Science; Albir Krganov, mufti of the Spiritual Assembly of Muslims of Russia, and many others. In their speeches, the guests of honor unanimously noted the importance of the work of the founder of the project, Alexei Shaburov, to preserve the art of calligraphy for future generations.
International embassies and cultural delegations also paid attention to this intercultural festival. The opening was attended by representatives of several foreign missions: Japan, China, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Georgia, Poland, representatives of the Mongolian Association of Calligraphers and cultural figures from other countries. All of them stressed the importance of events such as the International Exhibition of Calligraphy, as they help maintain cultural dialogue and preserve peace and friendship on the planet.
There was no lack of visitors to the exhibition either. During 10 days of work, several thousand people were able to join the art of beautiful writing, and the master class area could hardly accommodate everyone who wanted to try their hand at calligraphy in practice.
It is also interesting that the program of the exhibition was not only aesthetic and cultural, but also educational. Every day, modern masters of calligraphy held master classes and lectures in a special area dedicated to various types this art.
The highlight was the participation in the exhibition project of the official calligrapher and illuminator of the Central Office of the High Court of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the unsurpassed master of heraldry and illumination - Timothy Nouda. He is known for his finely crafted Royal Letters, as well as for designing commemorative coins.
At the opening, Timothy Noad talked about his calligraphic career. For 30 years he has been serving in Her Majesty's Heraldic Chamber. Work on each project is hard, painstaking, and usually takes from 6 weeks to two months. As a sign of respect, Timothy presented the museum with the work "Salamander", skillfully made in the technique of illumination.
Also on the opening day, the famous Chinese master Lo Lei told and demonstrated the history of the development of Chinese writing. The participants of the master class were able to learn from the master the secrets of writing hieroglyphs.
Another calligraphy lesson, now with children, Marina Khankova. "A letter in the "Bilibino" style": that was the name of the master class. Within a few hours, the children were able to get acquainted with the technique of the outstanding Soviet artist and try their hand at writing letters. The guys were just delighted.
In general, a lot of attention was paid to the topic of developing and teaching writing at the exhibition. After all, it has long been known that calligraphy has not only an aesthetic function, but also has a fruitful effect on the activity of many parts of the brain. The art of beautiful writing helps in the development of fine motor skills, optical control, attention, accuracy, perseverance. It helps to concentrate, improve short-term and figurative memory.
