The California Calligraphy
Summit: Cali/Graffi
September
23 - October 19, 2006.
The California Calligraphy Summit brings together the
work of a dozen artists who are now or have been based in California, for
whom calligraphy is central to their artistic exploration. Diverse international
and culturally complex written languages inform their inventively experimental
work, ranging from abstract to literary, classic to "street." Several of
the artists are already acclaimed abroad, while others are just beginning
to attract artworld attention for their exciting approaches. This fascinating
and multilingual exhibition shows how some of the best art in California
ties to the world.
