The California Studio: Xu Bing Nov. 3, 2022

Xu Bing is a visual artist internationally recognized for his experiments with written script. Xu garnered international attention in the late 1980s for his experiments with the Chinese written script created using woodblock carving and printing to produce a series of nonsensical characters. Since then, Xu has explored the ways in which the written script bridges different systems of writing and engages audiences across different cultures. Recorded on Nov. 3, 2022
Xu was the fall 2022 spotlight artist in residence in The California Studio: Manetti Shrem Artist Residencies. The talk was organized by The California Studio in the Department of Art and Art History.
