Additional information

Wang Dongling 王冬龄, one of China’s most highly regarded contemporary ink painters, will demonstrate his luan shu (“chaotic script”) calligraphy in a special event in the Calderwood Courtyard. In this energetic performance, he will draw upon ancient texts and brush-painting traditions to create a large gestural work focused on the exalted West Lake poems of Su Dongpo (1037–1101). Located in Hangzhou, West Lake has served as a source of inspiration for generations of poets, scholars, and artists, including Wang.
