Calligraphy About Moscow: New exhibition opens at the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy

Next Friday, December 2nd, 2016, a new exhibition will launch at the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy. The exhibition titled Calligraphy About Moscow will feature works by both renowned calligraphy masters, participants of the International Exhibition of Calligraphy project, and young aspiring calligraphers.

The opening ceremony includes the exhibition presentation, a workshop where the calligrapher Andrey Nikanorov will teach guests to sign thematic postcards, and a musical concert and lecture dedicated to the musicl culture of Moscow (featuring Galina Skobeleva, violin, lecturer, and Sofia Potylitsina, piano).

The exhibition will last through December, 30. Apart from the works showcased in the Museum, the exposition includes several unique electronic works that can be seen at the exhibition web page.

…Moscow: So big and diverse. So ancient and modern. Boasting numerous historical monuments and attributes of ultra modern culture. A colorful and eclectic kaleidoscope. The centre of attraction for the whole country. Our capital.

And thus, in all its diversity, Moscow is represented in the works that form our new exhibition “Calligraphy About Moscow”.

Golden domes of Moscow temples; an extract of a medieval historical manuscript; a triptych inspired by Brodsky’s poetry; a quote from a popular Soviet movie; a calligraffiti on the wall of an old downtown neighbourhood; a poem composed by a Chinese calligraphy master: every exhibition participant sees and feels Moscow in his or her own way, and they share their perception wit us.

We invite you to come and see the Calligraphy About Moscow exhibition in the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy!

Stay tuned for our news, and hope to see you soon!
