Artist Lens｜Yangjiang Group: Subverting Calligraphy

The three founders of the Yangjiang Group discuss how and why they started the collective and their approach towards calligraphy as an art form. Yangjiang Group’s calligraphy practice defies easy categorisation. The collective—founded by Zheng Guogu, Chen Zaiyan, and Sun Qinglin in 2002—is interested in challenging the notion of calligraphy as high culture. They incorporate calligraphy into large-scale installations, photographs, and performances. Their work both subverts and draws on the established rules of the practice. For example, ‘Calligraphy Peach Blossom Garden’ (2004) is a temporary garden installation. Calligraphy texts and ‘xuan’ paper have been transformed into a flowing river underneath a wooden bridge. The scene appears alongside fake peach trees and a wax waterfall. This meditative space subverts traditional methods of presenting calligraphy, reinventing the form through modern materials. #YanjiangGroup #ChineseCalligraphy #InkArt #InstallationArt #SiggCollection #Art #Artist ‘Nowadays, calligraphy seems to have little practical meaning in society. But we are interested in finding out what role calligraphy can still play in society.’ — Yangjiang Group English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese closed captions are available in the player.
