The countryside in China is a vast and vibrant fertile soil. Although it is not as orderly and prosperous as urban planning and construction, the unique natural scenery of the countryside, the unique cultural styles of the village, the unique village residential buildings, rural customs, etc., have been continuously washed away by the years, and are still standing on the vast land of the motherland. “Homesickness” has become the “memory” that people are looking for now. How to intervene in rural cultural construction in a form of popular expressions, reawaken people’s love and attention to the countryside, the countryside, and reinvigorate the increasingly empty countryside and revitalize the opportunity to achieve sustainable rural development, realize the activation and value-added rural idle resources, and enable the majority of villagers to have a real sense of gain in economic benefits and cultural life, thereby empowering rural cultural construction. This is the question we are thinking about.
Recently, we went into the countryside to carry out artistic practice of rural cultural revitalization, planned the “Writing the Earth, Poetry and the Distant” work report exhibition, and explored the creation and display path of rural cultural revitalization – “Art Rural Construction”.
In this “art rural construction” practice, we pay special attention to the “roots” of rural culture and the local artistic creation style, and hope to awaken villagers’ confidence in their local culture through expressing traditional rural culture. This is a challenge. For us studio students who use traditional calligraphy, painting and printing art, I think this is not only a challenge, but also a kind of nirvana. It is to cultivate our ability to understand, perceive and understand the countryside. Facing the places where our ancestors have lived for generations, how can we use the artistic talents we have mastered to create and realize our vision, and make this fertile butterfly turn into a beautiful spiritual home, suitable for business and livable. In order to avoid the simple graffiti phenomenon in local art creation that we have done in the past, our activities adhere to the concept of symbiosis between people and themselves, adapt to local conditions, try to explore the greatest advantages of local natural resources, let art adapt to the environment, let the environment create an artistic atmosphere, light up art, and strive to integrate art and the environment. At the same time, the nourishment of art moisturizes things silently, and put all our artistic conceptions and energy storage into this practice to the greatest extent.
Komiks
Our works are all interpreted by traditional calligraphy, painting and printing art.
The performance art of “Bamboo Seeds in the 5G Era” was sprouted by the author’s association with the “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest” from a local bamboo forest. At that time, I thought, who is the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest” now? Can contemporary times find the representative “Seven Sages”? Even if it is found, what does it mean? Is it necessary? What inspirational significance does the “Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest” have for the present? “Some things are just so coincidental. At that time, I happened to read an article by Mr. Wu Hongliang studying Chinese painting, titled “Source Bamboo in the 5G era”, which originated from a sentence in a poem “Dream of the Agile Words” in Xichuan. Although the three of us talk about “bamboo forest” and “Seven Sages”, the profiles are different and the meanings to express differently. Therefore, our work “Source Bamboo in the 5G era” came into being: For the 5G era, everyone is the “Seven Sages”, but they are different. Everyone has a side of each person. Although things are connected and connected, everyone is connected, everyone is connected, KomiksBut how should everyone’s hearts be connected?

“The People’s Food is the Sky” series uses the spiritual power given by rural daily life scenes and objects as cultural background, and uses local idle resources as the basic media. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks creates. We are urbanized and are almost unfamiliar with these stoves that use wood to make fire, rice trucks, water trucks, and hand-punched stone mills in the countryside. However, decades ago, these objects were necessary tools for our daily lives. The land gods, door gods, etc. of rural customs and habits are almost dying in modern urban life…… Rural life established a “familiar stranger” for modern people!
After the inspiration of teachers and the background of the daily necessities and local customs and folk customs, the creations have not yet been released, and our hearts are baptized first.
《Song of the Rice Cart》
《Gate God》
The Good Days”, one of the series “Tiger and Tigers”
Good Days”, is a Cinema device that uses villagers’ houses as space and uses the Kitchen God culture as the source. It hopes to arouse people’s association with farming civilization for thousands of years, alert people to pay attention to the issue of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then perceive the hard-wonderful days today, and trigger praise for a happy life.
“Good Days”
“Shuilong Yin” is a set of ancient and modern regulated poems that chant water wheels in the expression of traditional calligraphy and the old water wheels, which confirms the Cinema is considerable, readable, appreciated, and can also be imagined. Especially the calligraphy works written in Dong Qichang’s style on the wall complement the water wheel on the ground. The leisurely and leisurely life of people in the farming era seems to be right in front of them.
“ShuilongyinBabaylan“
“Certification of the World” is another series of ours. The display of traditional seal carving art is usually made by using a seal screen or enlarging the print and physical objects in the exhibition hall, and the display outside the “Temple Hall” is presented.The test is indeed the test. After inspecting the on-site environment, we followed the trend and flexibly combined, allowing the large square arrays of multi-person works and the small square arrays of personal works to give full play to the advantages of different visual display, echoing the size and seeing each other in a “verified the present” way. We hope that people’s back and forth between different groups can produce another touch.
“Certification of the World”
“Red Brick Introduction”, whether the extension of traditional calligraphy can be connected with the Komiks modern art is one of the topics that the author has worked hard to explore.
“Red Brick Introduction”
“Green Mountains and Green Waters” series presents our understanding and appeals for green mountains and green waters.
“Maybe it a bunch of “bad words””, trying to use the Internet buzzwords with humor, teasing, and deep thoughts. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks is dialectical unity with jokes, funny and “solemnity”. From the must-have words for online communication to becoming a catchphrase today, “alternative” enriches the lives of people in contemporary society. This is the contradiction between tradition and innovation, restraint and ostentatiousness. Because of the problems of such trendy online languages with standardized characters, game-style language, grammatical errors, vulgarity, etc., it determines the possibility of long-term nature of its life cycle, and it is even a flash in the pan. However, it is a replica of every day in the current society, and it is a reflection of certain phenomena, and some words are even rebellious, innovative, and exaggerated.
“Maybe a bunch of “bad words””
“Open the folded book”, a dictionary, “Modern Chinese Dacihai”, is compiled by the external compilation of “Modern Chinese Dacihai”, and includes Internet buzzwords in “non-canon” method. The meaning of this title is two: one is the meaning of “fold”. It is popular now or once popular, and with the passage and change of time and space, it is constantly obscured or appears and overlaps from time to time, or overlaps; the other is “open”. All the “popular” memories in the external compilation of “Modern Chinese Dacihai” are a big wordCinema event is either a short story or an unforgettable memory. Through the work “Open the Folded Book”, Babaylan, I hope to repair the memory, forget it, and mourn or pay tribute to the memory.
Open the Folded Book
CinemaWe hope to transform our deep affection for the countryside and the earth into works through the daily things in the countryside, and transform our wisdom into works to infect and inspire people. We express our feelings to traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting, and through the display of calligraphy, painting and printing art, Komiks carry ancient oriental culture in a new medium, which is also a unique presentation, either behavior, concept, installation, or just an exploration.
Through this practiceKomiks href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema, we believe that if the traditional calligraphy and painting form is reset to the living space without villagers, is it a bit of a doubt that “whether the skin is gone without hair will be attached?”, it may appear inconsistent and affect the appreciation of the artistic nature of the works. How to expand the exhibition site is a topic worth studying in the construction of the art site. Through this practice, we also believe that in addition to interior layout, it is also feasible to expand the exhibition site outdoors.
There is “Topology” in geometry, which talks about the one-year-oldThe spatial transformation in a fixed space is, for our work display space, as the position of the work changes, a new display space is born again, which I call the “expanding ground topology” method. In Yijian Village, using a form of displaying works that touches the rural atmosphere is a good way to get close to the masses. Local creation, fully “revitalizing” idle spaces and old objects, can be opened as part of a rural museum and become a medium for displaying local farming culture, traditional folk customs, and village appearance. Some of the artworks in the “Exhibition of Babaylan Land Topology” series can be displayed for a long time. Some are only short-term due to environmental relations and have their own characteristics. Even in a moment, the auspicious light will foil, which will promote people’s love and yearning for a better life. If they can be integrated with culture and tourism, it will surely bring popularity and business opportunities.
“Let the city leave memories and let people remember their homesickness.” Through art building, we move writing to the wilderness, to the countryside, to the fields to awaken people’s memories and contribute to rural revitalization together.
