Саlligraphy About Moscow

Moscow: So big and diverse. So ancient and modern. Boasting numerous historical monuments and attributes of ultra modern culture. A colorful and eclectic kaleidoscope. The centre of attraction for the whole country. Our capital.

And thus, in all its diversity, Moscow is represented in the works that form our new exhibition “Calligraphy About Moscow”.

Golden domes of Moscow temples; an extract of a medieval historical manuscript; a triptych inspired by Brodsky’s poetry; a quote from a popular Soviet movie; a calligraffiti on the wall of an old downtown neighbourhood; a poem composed by a Chinese calligraphy master: every exhibition participant sees and feels Moscow in his or her own way, and they share their perception wit us.

We invite you to come and see the Calligraphy About Moscow exhibition in the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy!

Open December 2 through December 30, 2016
