First, when you enter the exhibition, you will participate in the exhibition of calligraphy works, that is, the works will be displayed at the exhibition venue.
Second, being selected means that both participating in the exhibition and participating in the competition are selected by the organizer, indicating a state of being able to enter the exhibition venue for display.
A brief introduction to calligraphy is as follows:
Calligraphy is a unique traditional art of the Chinese nation, with a long history and enduring. It is an art that integrates body and brain, and all its strength and thinking are used in writing.
In the eyes of some people in the book industry, the importance of exhibitions is similar to "stimulants" in sports.
We don't completely deny the role of exhibitions in improving the artistic level of a calligrapher or a group of calligraphers. The author has a good friend who is a strong supporter and practitioner of the "exhibition effect theory". In recent years, he has been running around and held one solo exhibition after another. He firmly believes that only by constantly exhibiting can he prove his artistic existence; Only through exhibitions can we stimulate our creative desire.
Ma Xiao's calligraphy
Of course, it is undoubtedly one of its original intentions to raise awareness and let more people know through exhibitions. But as far as I can see, it has achieved half of its goals at most, and most of these goals are non-artistic; As for the creative level, it often gives people the feeling of stagnation or even collapse.
Therefore, over the years, I often doubt the reality of such a beautiful wish: holding more book fairs will naturally improve the author's calligraphy level. On the contrary, in my opinion, frequent exhibition activities will make people in a state of excitement for a long time, unable to rationally face and reflect on their own creations.
It's like an actor or a troupe, who is only keen on stage performance, but forgets the rehearsal or basic skills training under the stage, then the problems in the last performance will naturally reappear in the next performance (and most of them are exactly the same). Most of the so-called "work discussions" during or after the exhibition are meaningless.
