【第三屆橫山書藝獎｜首度國際徵件 🌏】
【Third Hengshan Calligraphy Award｜First International Open Call 🌏】
如果整座美術館，都成為你思考書法的空間，你會如何策劃一場展覽？
第三屆「橫山書藝獎」首度向國際徵件，藝術家、策展人及藝術團隊不限國籍，都可依橫山書法藝術館「全館展廳」為展示空間，提出書法藝術策展企劃。
「橫山書藝獎」希望透過展覽，連結不同文化傳統、媒材與技術，拓展書法的多樣面向，以及它與當代議題之間的關係。
而書法與書寫，本來就存在於不同語言、文化與社會脈絡之中，也發展出各自不同的形式、觀念與觀看方式。
由此，本屆書藝獎首度向國際徵件，希望能邀集不同國家與文化背景的藝術家、策展人及藝術團隊，帶來關於書法、書寫藝術與書寫文化的多元觀點與展覽想像。
我們期待這些跨文化的提案在臺灣相遇，讓觀眾看見書法不只一種樣貌，也讓不同地區的書寫文化彼此交流、對話，持續拓展書法藝術的可能。
透過這樣的交流，橫山書法藝術館也期待逐步串連不同地區的創作者、研究者與策展實踐，進一步建構作為亞洲書法藝術交流平台的角色。
因此，本屆獎項不只提問「展出什麼」，更期待提案者從策展的角度出發，思考書法如何進入當代藝術與美術館空間，同時回應當代課題。
從展覽敘事、空間配置、參觀動線到觀眾體驗，完整想像一場發生在整座美術館裡的展覽。
提案可以從不同文化傳統、媒材技術與當代議題出發，也可以讓書法與影像、裝置、表演、科技或跨域創作相遇。
我們不僅期待書法既有形式的延伸，也希望看見具有開創性、時代性與實驗精神的策展提案，來回答當今書法的發展課題：
書法還能如何被觀看、被感受，又能如何回應我們所處的當代世界？

What if an entire museum became the space for reimagining calligraphy?
For the first time, the Hengshan Calligraphy Award is opening its call internationally.
The Third Hengshan Calligraphy Award invites artists, curators, and art collectives of all nationalities to propose a calligraphy-focused curatorial project encompassing the entire Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center (HCAC) in Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Through exhibitions, the Hengshan Calligraphy Award aims to connect diverse cultural traditions, artistic media, and techniques, while expanding the ways calligraphy can be understood, experienced, and engaged with in relation to contemporary issues.
Writing and calligraphic practices have long developed across different languages, cultures, and social contexts—each with their own forms, ideas, traditions, and ways of seeing.
By opening the award internationally, HCAC hopes to invite perspectives from across countries and cultures, including exhibition proposals engaging with calligraphy, writing-based art, and broader cultures of writing.
Bringing these perspectives together in Taiwan creates opportunities for audiences to encounter different understandings of calligraphy—and for diverse writing traditions and artistic practices to meet, exchange, and enter into dialogue.
Through these encounters, HCAC also seeks to connect artists, curators, researchers, and practices across regions, strengthening its role as a platform for calligraphic art and cultural exchange in Asia.
This is why the award goes beyond the question of “what to exhibit.” Applicants are invited to approach calligraphy through curatorial thinking and to consider how it can enter into dialogue with contemporary art, the museum space, and the issues of our time.
From curatorial narrative and spatial planning to visitor circulation and audience experience, applicants are encouraged to imagine an exhibition that unfolds across the entire museum.
Proposals may draw on different cultural traditions, artistic media, technologies, and contemporary issues. They may also explore how calligraphy can intersect with moving image, installation, performance, technology, and interdisciplinary practices.
We welcome proposals that move beyond established forms of calligraphy and bring originality, contemporary relevance, and an experimental spirit to exhibition-making.
How else can calligraphy be seen and experienced—and how might it respond to the world we live in today?
