The "Before I Die" project at the International Exhibition of Calligraphy

The International Exhibition of Calligraphy, which takes place in Moscow on the Festival Square of Sokolniki Park from September 1 to 10, has joined the international art project Before I Die. At the entrance to the exhibition of calligraphy there are slate boards on which anyone can finish the phrase "Before I die I want to…," thereby expressing their ambitions in life. Every day visitors of the International Exhibition of Calligraphy leave hundreds of inscriptions on the boards.

The project "Before I die" was created by the artist Candy Chang in 2009 after the death of a loved one. She turned a house wall into a black board on which she wrote the phrase "Before I die I want…" so that anyone willing could finish the phrase. The goal of the project is to remind people of really important things.
