Phil Akashi - Ink and acrylic on jute with Dongba script and Chinese seal imprints, 145 x 200 cm The Naxi Dongba script is the only hieroglyphic / pictographic writing systems still in use today. The Dongba symbols are an ancient system of pictographic glyphs created by the founder of the Bön religious tradition of Tibet and used by the ethnic minority Naxi in southern China.  Historical records show that this unique script was used as early as the 7th century, during the early Tang Dynasty. Use of the Naxi language and script was discouraged after the Communist victory in 1949, and they were actively suppressed during the Cultural Revolution in the 60s when thousands of manuscripts were destroyed. #makeyourownexhibition #machedeineeigeneausstellung #Löwenbräukunst #contemporaryartcenter #kunsthallezürich #Lowenbraukunst #materiality #language #aesthetics #philakashi #alchemist #asianart #contemporaryart #fineart #arte #eastwestdialogue #crosscultural #belgianartist #belgianart #artcollector #artgallery #artnews #artinfo #dongbascript #naxidongba #naxitribe #minorities @kunsthallezurich @lowenbraukunst.zurich OPENING : FRIDAY 31 JULY, 4PM 31 JULY 2020 - 30 AUGUST 2020 KUNSTHALLE ZURICH, LOWENBRAUKUNST Limmatstrasse 270 , CH-8005 Zürich (at Kunsthalle Zürich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEBxUY1qj7Y/?igshid=15pd8vq70aacl

Intersect 21 Installation view, Phil Akashi Ink and fluorescent spray paint on canvas, ultraviolet light 160 x 240 cm Phil Akashi's work investigates questions relating to the act of transgression as a powerful tool that allows the liberation of the creative energies. The artist incorporates multiple layers of languages* from East and West and uses light as a manifestation of spiritual energy. The compositions of Arabic, Chinese and English characters and hues of the artwork are revealed in the presence of ultraviolet light. By doing so, he engages his audience with a reflection on unlimited tolerance, open-mindedness and positive reasoning. Between visible and invisible, between light and shadow, a new, expanded idea of calligraphy takes shape. #philakashi #museumofmodernart #calligraphy #tolerance #light #shadow #transgression #uvblacklight #eastandwest #arabic #chinese #english #language @altiba9 @philakashi #contemporaryart #fineart #intersect21 #intersectartanddesign https://www.instagram.com/p/CLY8PzdB8VH/?igshid=1xjhnrbozazca
