Finally… I am proud to announce that my solo art installation will be held at Guerilla Cafe from Sunday July 5th, 2009 until Sunday August 23rd, 2009. My friend 8doors, a shooting star from Aomori Japan, and Hakobo, a bad-ass DJ from the bay area who makes everyone dance on the floor will be providing the cafe good vibes with their music.
I hope that this installation will deliver you a new discovery about Japanese calligraphy.
Please stop by and glance my art.

”A Dot and A Line”
文字というものは、点と線で成り立っている。人々は、古代からこの単純明快であり複雑な文字という記号によって意思伝達を行ってきた。現代に発達し伝承されて来たこの文字という歴史哲学をアートとして表現すべく、書家山口碧生による、伝統芸術「書道」の新たなる可能性を探るインスタレーション。
A letter consists essentially of dots and lines and philosophically, people communicate through these simple man-made symbols. Japanese calligrapher Aoi Yamaguchi explores new possibilities for the ancient art of calligraphy – juxtaposing traditional with contemporary styles.
