(Ideo-)Logical Alliances between Image and Script: Calligraphic Reconfigurations in Contemporary Chinese Art
2009
Overview
In East Asian culture, image and script form a very strong alliance. Because (artistic) forms of visual representation grew out of a script/literate culture, a specific mode of scriptural iconicity developed. When Western body and performance art found its way into Chinese contemporary visual arts in the nineties, this traditional scriptovisual paradigm was challenged and infiltrated. The author argues that in response to the challenge of Western models of body representation and embodiment, calligraphy as scriptural body projection, as well as traditional print and stamp practices, were revived and reconfigured by contemporary Chinese body and performance artists, be it to redefine cultural, personal, and bodily identity, or to undermine critically the socialist cultural paradigm of writing as pre-scription and in-scription into the body.
