本书对在博洛尼亚国际音乐博物馆与图书馆于2023年10月12日至11月5日举办的展览“水墨的声音:洛齐与三十年书法主义”(INKiostro di voci: Luo Qi e 30 anni di calligrafismo)进行了系统记录与深入分析。此次展览旨在庆祝“书法主义”创立三十周年。“书法主义”是当代中国书法的重要思潮之一,展览同时呈现了该运动创始人、书法家洛齐的代表作品。 洛齐是当今最重要的中国书法家之一。他的作品见证了其革命性、跨学科艺术运动三十年来的蓬勃发展。该运动致力于将中国书法转化为一种当代艺术形式——通过对书法美学原则与语义功能的根本性重构,使之成为一种能够在全球范围内产生共鸣的艺术。洛齐创造了一种无语义书写(asemic writing)语言,这种语言具有普遍可感知性,可被定义为“书写之音”或“线条之乐”。在本次展览中,艺术家旨在其受音乐启发的书法作品与博洛尼亚国际音乐博物馆与图书馆之间建立真正的视觉与听觉对话——既是书法艺术与音乐艺术之间的对话,也是东西方文化之间的对话。 本书以博物馆馆长及口笔译研究系主任的两篇导言开篇,全书共分为三部分。第一部分收录了该位领域学者撰写的评论文章,从形式、主题与符号学等角度对展出作品进行分析,并将其置于中国及全球当代书法与艺术的宏观语境之中加以阐释。第二部分详细介绍并探讨了展览策划方案、相关活动,以及献赠作品《塞维利亚的理发师》的捐赠仪式。第三部分介绍了博物馆的概况,并首次向世界展示馆藏中国乐器收藏。全书以艺术家传记作结。书中配有丰富的图像资料,既系统记录了本次展览的全过程,也呈现了该艺术运动更广泛的发展历程。 本出版物是博洛尼亚国际音乐博物馆与图书馆与博洛尼亚大学口笔译系合作的成果,属于欧洲项目“WRITE——中国书法新形式:当代文化之镜”(项目编号 949645)的一部分。
The volume documents and provides an in-depth analysis of the exhibition “Sounds of Ink: Luo Qi and 30 Years of Calligraphyism” (INKiostro di voci: Luo Qi e 30 anni di calligrafismo) held from October 12 to November 5 at the International Museum and Library of Music in Bologna. The exhibition celebrates the 30th anniversary of the founding of “Calligraphyism,” one of the major movements in contemporary Chinese calligraphy, and presents the works of master calligrapher Luo Qi, founder of the movement. Luo Qi is one of the most important living Chinese calligraphers, and his works bear witness to thirty years of fervent activity within his revolutionary and cross-disciplinary movement, which seeks to transform Chinese calligraphy into a contemporary art form—an art capable of global resonance through a radical rethinking of its aesthetic principles and semantic function. He is the creator of an asemic language that is universally comprehensible and can be described as the “music of the written sign” or the “music of the line.” In this exhibition, the artist aims to establish a genuine visual and sonic dialogue between his music-inspired calligraphic and the International Museum and Library of Music—a dialogue between the art of calligraphy and music, as well as between Eastern and Western cultures. The volume opens with two introductory texts by the Director of the Museum and the Director of the Department of Interpreting and Translation Studies, and is divided into three sections. The first section consists of critical essays written by scholars in the field, in which the exhibited works are analyzed from formal, thematic, and semiotic perspectives, situating them within the broader context of Chinese and global contemporary calligraphy and art. The second section presents and examines in detail the exhibition project, the related events, and the deed of donation of the work dedicated to “The Barber of Seville”. The final section introduces the museum and presents, for the first time worldwide, the museum’s collection of Chinese musical instruments. The volume concludes with a biography of the artist. The text is accompanied by an extensive illustrative apparatus documenting both the exhibition and the broader development of the movement. This publication is the result of a collaboration between the International Museum and Library of Music of Bologna and the Department of Interpreting and Translation of the University of Bologna, as part of the European project “WRITE - New Forms of Calligraphy in China: A Contemporary Culture Mirror” (GA. 949645).

Abstract
The volume documents and provides an in-depth analysis of the exhibition “Sounds of Ink: Luo Qi and 30 Years of Calligraphyism” (INKiostro di voci: Luo Qi e 30 anni di calligrafismo) held from October 12 to November 5 at the International Museum and Library of Music in Bologna. The exhibition celebrates the 30th anniversary of the founding of “Calligraphyism,” one of the major movements in contemporary Chinese calligraphy, and presents the works of master calligrapher Luo Qi, founder of the movement. Luo Qi is one of the most important living Chinese calligraphers, and his works bear witness to thirty years of fervent activity within his revolutionary and cross-disciplinary movement, which seeks to transform Chinese calligraphy into a contemporary art form—an art capable of global resonance through a radical rethinking of its aesthetic principles and semantic function. He is the creator of an asemic language that is universally comprehensible and can be described as the “music of the written sign” or the “music of the line.” In this exhibition, the artist aims to establish a genuine visual and sonic dialogue between his music-inspired calligraphic and the International Museum and Library of Music—a dialogue between the art of calligraphy and music, as well as between Eastern and Western cultures. The volume opens with two introductory texts by the Director of the Museum and the Director of the Department of Interpreting and Translation Studies, and is divided into three sections.
