The Poetic Pen: Celebrating Calligraphy and Poetry
On View Through July 28, 2012
Artists Reception: First Friday, July 6, 2012, 5:00-8:00 p.m.
Online Catalog: http://23sandy.com/works/poetic-pen-exhibition
The word calligraphy comes from the Greek kalli meaning beautiful and graphia referring to writing. From the traditional to the experimental, calligraphy today has moved beyond communication into an expressive fine art form requiring dedication and commitment to achieve the level of skill, creative excellence and quality needed for harmonious and skillful execution.
Calligraphers throughout history have employed poetry to illustrate the art and fine craft of lettering, letterforms and calligraphic design. Whether original or borrowed, excerpted or unabridged, poetry, when combined with either traditional or expressive contemporary lettering, is the beautiful voice of the written word.
This international juried exhibition includes unique and editioned artist books, wall-hung works and sculpture by 36 artists from as far away as Finland, Argentina and Australia. The exhibition is being held in conjunction with the Calligraphy Northwest Calligraphy Conference, which will bring over 500 practitioners to Reed College June 24 – July 1, 2012.
