First Fractal Calligraphy Exhibition Starts Today


Fractal Calligraphy was developed in recent years at Dartmouth College as part of Technical Calligraphy Studies. This exiting new form of art cannot be fully appreciated without the contexts and insights of Mathematical Art History. In addition to invited lectures and conference/workshop presentations around the world, Prof. Wen Xing also formally introduced Fractal Calligraphy to Dartmouth students in his CHIN 62 “Chinese Calligraphy” course in the Fall Term of 2016. With the generous support from Arthur Vining Davis Foundation, “Fractal Calligraphy” was taught as one of Dartmouth’s School House Mini-Seminars during the Winter Term of 2017. Thanks to the enthusiasm of some workshop participants and the current CHIN 82 “Chinese Calligraphy and Manuscript Culture” and CHIN 54 “Classical Chinese Poetry” students, this first ever Fractal Calligraphy exhibition successfully starts today, Friday, April 28, 2017. Please find the exhibition information in the posters above. You are cordially invited to the exhibition reception during 4:15 PM to 5:15 PM, Thursday, May 18, 2017, on the first floor of the Haldeman Center in front of the Dickey Center for International Understanding, Dartmouth College.
