Abstract

This is the Xuan Paper Museum, dedicated to the history and craft of Xuan paper production that displays masterpieces of traditional calligraphy and painting. Amid the spectacle of the Olympic Games opening ceremony in Beijing in August 2008 the colossal screen in the Bird's Nest stadium displayed the process of creating a traditional Chinese painting, from the making of Xuan paper and the delicate brushwork applied to its surface, to the art of mounting the finished masterpiece on a scroll. Explaining why he has been using the paper for so long, he says that his installations are the product of challenging traditional forms of calligraphy and painting on Xuan paper.
