Mystery of world Calligraphy at the opening of Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy

October 08, 2008

Some say that when one dreams of something this something is half-real so this doesn’t make one unhappy, but when the dream has gone it leaves one sad since the expectation is harder to suffer.

1 August was opened Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy. Newspapers wrote “an event  that all the amateurs of beautiful hand-writing had long dreamt of finally happened”. Over a month ago it was opened for visitors inviting to enter and to look at the works of calligraphers. Incomplete exhibition that accounted around for one-third of the works, however, left strong impression and visit to the exhibition has become a great event for everyone. In the beginning of September the museum was closed due to the preparation of International Calligraphic Exhibition in St Petersburg.

Finally on 9 December will happen an event that all the Russian script-writers and designers  were expecting for so long.

In Moscow park Sokolniki will take place an official opening of constant exposition of Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy. Works many of those can be called chef-d’oeuvres will always be available for fans of hand-writing.

Of course, some will say that sites of International Calligraphic Exhibition and Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy already have photo galleries of works, but can it be compared with a joy to come the work; look it through the loop; notice a drop of ink, which vivid game of splashing were interrupted when the pen touched the ink and when it fulfilled its main goal – to express thought, feeling and ideas of an artist.

Official opening of the museum will be kept in memory not only due to the great joy of Moscow acquiring one more pearl in its casket of cultural sights. Besides, this day everyone will have a chance to guess “Mystery of world calligraphy”. Jewish, Arab, European, American, Slavic calligraphy ... You are to expect outstanding combinations of styles and trends, play on a various specifics of works, calligraphic works whose authors stand to diametrically opposite mindset but at the same time their creativity attracts and fascinates...
