2023橫山書藝獎

To facilitate discourse, research, and critical examination of the art of calligraphy, the Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts (TMoFA) commenced the acceptance of submissions for the 2022 Hengshan Awards: Biennial Awards for Calligraphy Research and Criticism (the Hengshan Awards). The award ceremony was held at the Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center (HCAC) on July 1. On behalf of the panel of judges, Professor Kanno Chiaki of the Department of Art, University of Tsukuba, Japan, was invited to give a speech. The awards were presented by Director Chiu Cheng-sheng of the Department of Cultural Affairs, Taoyuan and the international judging panel. Symposiums were also held on the event day, providing in-depth analysis and discussions on the winning research papers and art criticism, delving into contemporary perspectives on calligraphy research and criticism. The winning articles have been published in the paper compilation for this year's event. Additionally, to further incentivize calligraphy research, shortlisted works were also included in the compilation.
For this year's Hengshan Awards, a judging panel consisting of 10 experts and art critics from Japan, the US, China, and Taiwan meticulously selected the winners through two rounds of judging. The panel recognized six standout articles among the submissions. One notable achievement is Mai Ching-yueh's “Revealing the Secret Improvement Process of Yu Youren's Standard Cursive Script and Distinguishing True and False on the Special Editions”, which claimed first place in the Calligraphy Research category.
Additionally, three other papers received the Merit Award: “A Study on The Research and Application of Calligraphers' on Ancient ‘Folk Calligraphy’ in the Late Qing and Early Republic Eras - Shen Zengzhi as Example” by Chiang Ya-hui, “Research on the Origin and Development of Cursive Configuration in Sun Guoh-Tyng's Shu Pu” by Chang Li-lien, and “A Preliminary Study on Using the Optical 3D Scanning Technology to Simulate Traditional Stone Tablet Inscriptions Rubbings and to Restore the Damaged Characters: Taking the Fu Kang An Ji Gong Monument in Chiayi City as an Example” by Chung Yueh-lung.
In the Calligraphy Criticism category, two articles were awarded the Merit Award “The Continuing Intention - From the Debate between Tradition and Modernity to the Creation of Cursive Script” by Lee Tsui-ying and “The Crisscrossing of Contemporary Calligraphy - a Review of Developments and Possibilities” by Fung Yee-lick Eric. The submissions covered a wide range of topics, spanning from ancient to contemporary calligraphy, thereby showcasing remarkable diversity in perspectives and the profoundness of contemporary calligraphy research and criticism.
Chiu Cheng-sheng, Director of Taoyuan's Department of Cultural Affairs emphasized that TMoFA operates on the foundation of combining localization and internationalization. The Hengshan Awards serve to both cultivate local culture and expand international connections, with the goal of becoming an iconic calligraphy award in East Asia. The Hengshan Awards have become a significant annual event for TMoFA and the calligraphy community. The Department of Cultural Affairs remains committed to promoting diverse activities that foster local and international connections.
TMoFA founded the Hengshan Awards in 2020, and the two editions of the awards have generated remarkable research papers. The establishment of these awards and the publication of paper compilations are anticipated to ignite greater interest in historical research and art criticism of calligraphy, leading to further breakthroughs in calligraphy research and criticism in Taiwan and even on an international level.

2022 Hengshan Awards (Research and Criticism)

The Hengshan Calligraphy Award is the first award in Taiwan that competes through the form of calligraphy art exhibitions. It aims to encourage calligraphy art exhibitions and calligraphy creative practices that embody the spirit of the times, possess an exploratory perspective, address contemporary issues, and explore various forms and contents.
The 2021 Hengshan Calligraphy Award had a total of 44 exhibitions competing for the awards, and 7 cases were selected for the shortlist. After enthusiastic discussions by the judging panel, a champion and two merit awards were ultimately selected. The champion of the 2021 Hengshan Calligraphy Award is "Time's Shifting Without Era Disease: Post-Calligraphy by Ko Liang-chih," receiving a prize of 250,000 New Taiwan dollars. The merit awards go to "Number Concept: Chiang Po-hsuan Calligraphy Art Creation" and "'En Route to the Classics' – A Calligraphy Exhibition: Tradition and Innovation," each receiving a prize of 100,000 New Taiwan dollars. The champion will also be invited to hold an exhibition at the Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center (HCAC).
Liu Chun-lan, Director of the Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts (TMoFA), indicates that the HCAC aims to establish a foundation for calligraphy research and education, shape local artistic and cultural characteristics, and promote international calligraphy exchanges. In 2020, the TMoFA established "The Hengshan Awards," which include awards for research, criticism, and exhibition. In 2020, the "Hengshan Awards for Calligraphy Research and Criticism" was first held to promote the development of calligraphy research and criticism. In 2021, "The Hengshan Calligraphy Award" was launched to promote the development of contemporary calligraphy art in Taiwan and respond to contemporary trends. It aims to explore innovative and experimental dimensions of calligraphy art while showcasing the diverse development context and multiple expressions within contemporary calligraphy art.
The jury recognizes "Time's Shifting Without Era Disease" for its innovative approach to the calligraphy exhibition. The exhibition incorporates new technology and introduces elements of modern daily life into classical calligraphy, proposing new methods for reconstructing calligraphy art. This ambition aligns closely with the goals of the award.
Furthermore, the Merit Award is given to "Number Concept: Chiang Po-hsuan Calligraphy Art Creation" and "'En Route to the Classics' – A Calligraphy Exhibition: Tradition and Innovation." Both exhibitions demonstrate solid training in classical calligraphy, reflect on modern issues, and embrace collective creation.
The goal of the Hengshan Calligraphy Award is to inspire creators and curators in the field of calligraphy art to explore the various possibilities of calligraphy art in contemporary times with a more diverse and open vision. The 2021 Hengshan Calligraphy Award hopes to serve as a starting point for contemporary calligraphy curation, and through the participation of more creators and exhibition curators in the future, collectively promote the development and continuation of calligraphy art.

2022書藝研究與評論雙年獎

橫山書法藝術館（以下簡稱書藝館）之「橫山書藝獎」（以下簡稱書藝獎）為國內首創以書法藝術展覽形式來競逐的獎項，希望藉此鼓勵富有時代精神，具開拓性觀點、議題、形式、內容之書法藝術展覽及書藝創作實踐。本屆書藝獎共有44案展覽競逐獎項，並從中遴選7案入圍。經評審團熱烈討論，最終評選出「書藝獎」1案及優選2案。首屆書藝獎得獎展覽「今不同弊：柯良志後書寫創作發表」，獲頒獎金新臺幣25萬元；優選獎得獎展覽共計2案，分別為「數字說：江柏萱書藝創作展」及「經典道上：傳統與創新書法展」，各獲頒獎金新臺幣10萬元。「書藝獎」得獎者除獲頒獎金，並將受邀於橫山書法藝術館舉辦展覽。
桃園市立美術館劉俊蘭館長表示，橫山書法藝術館以奠基書法研究與教育、形塑在地藝文特色、促進國際書藝交流為目標，桃美館於2020年創設「橫山獎」，為研究／評論、創作／展覽雙軌並進的獎項。2020年首先舉辦「橫山書法藝術館書藝研究與評論雙年獎」，希望能以「橫山研究獎」與「橫山評論獎」促進書藝研究與評論的發展；2021年繼而開辦「橫山書藝獎」，推動臺灣當代書法藝術發展並回應時代趨勢，除開發書藝創新與實驗的向度，更展現當代書法藝術中多向的發展脈絡與多元表現。
評審團指出：『今不同弊：柯良志後書寫創作發表』展現了對書法藝術在當代的開創發想。展覽企圖透過書寫狀態的探究、幽默嘲諷的借鏡、VR與觀看視野的探索及大眾書寫的開拓，反思當代藝術與書法的關係。此展針對書藝在當代展覽空間的表現上亦有出色的規劃。在書法藝術演變和轉換中，柯良志提出具體的展覽操作手法，並結合日常生活的體驗，例如運用Google Map結合QR Code掃描，連結到在地現場的大眾書寫。另一方面，面對書法藝術發展的當代挑戰，柯良志在展覽策劃中也就古典書法拆解的議題，提出了重構的嘗試。例如透過〈蘭亭序〉中「流觴曲水」的反覆臨寫，讓民眾既參與古典書法的臨習，同時體會碑帖在歷史流傳和翻刻將面臨不斷失真的危機。
優選的獲獎展覽「數字說：江柏萱書藝創作展」藉由古典書法的扎實基礎來表現趣味性的當代議題，且在內容上觸及了當代社會的不同層面，刺激觀眾思考古典書法在當代的新可能。「經典道上：傳統與創新書法展」則對於書法經典進行回顧，並在書法的集體創作上有所觀照。由於這兩檔展覽亦著重古典書法在當代的新發展，因此評審也給予極高的評價。
橫山書藝獎期待能夠激勵書法藝術的創作者以及展覽策劃人，以更多元而開放的視野及格局，來探索書法藝術在當代的各種可能。本屆書藝獎希望能作為一個書藝當代策展的起點，透過未來更多創作者與展覽策劃人的參與，共同推動書法藝術的發展及延續。
