BeiJing , China – The ten-episode micro-documentary World Cultural Cities·Celebrity Interviews has recently gone live worldwide on the official Facebook and YouTube accounts of Beijing Radio & Television Station (BRTV). From a unique “Ten Cities, Ten Museums” perspective, the series sets the stage for the 3rd Beijing Cultural Forum, which will open this September.
Ink Rhythms: East Meets West highlights the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, featuring an interview with Max Hollein, Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Maxwell K. Hearn, Douglas Dillon Chairman of the Department of Asian Art at the Museum, and Wu Hongliang, Director of the Beijing Fine Art Academy. This episode takes Dong Qichang’s idea that “brush and ink transcend nature” as its starting point, exploring the vitality of calligraphic brushwork in Chinese painting and the way “integrating calligraphy into painting” elevates ink painting into an expression of the mind. Through a dialogue across time and space, it highlights the enduring spirit of art as a bridge between East and West.
