The Hengshan Calligraphy Biennale was established by Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts in Taiwan in 2023 to promote the diverse development of calligraphy and to foster international and contemporary dialogue on the art form. Held at the Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center (HCAC), the biennale aims to explore the critical role of calligraphy within today’s artistic landscape.The second edition, Calligraphy in Movement: From Literati’s Desk to People’s Streets, is curated by Professor Lin Chun-chen of National University of Tainan, with Gong Jow-Jiun, Ohara Toshiki, and Tanigawa Masao serving as curatorial advisors. The exhibition will run from 20 December 2025 to 13 April 2026 at HCAC.Bringing together 87 works by 45 artists from Taiwan, China, and Japan, the biennale spans a wide range of formats, from traditional hanging scrolls, handscrolls, letters, and poetry drafts to daily writing practices and cross-disciplinary collaborations. In response to the contemporary trend of viewing calligraphy purely as a visual form, the curatorial team re-centres calligraphy as an act of writing. By exhibiting works from both ‘professional’ and ‘non-professional’ contexts, the biennale challenges stylistic hierarchies and highlights the multiple ways in which calligraphy continues to evolve across history and modern culture. —[O]
