From late 1566 until 1573 the world of the talented writer and artist Xu Wei shrunk considerably, as he was confined to the Shaoxing County jail for the brutal murder of his wife, whom Xu believed had committed adultery. The time that Xu spent locked up is considered critical for the artist’s development as a graphic artist, and it is from this period that we first begin to see a cohesive body of Xu’s calligraphy. But how much do we know about Xu’s time in jail? And how might modern preconceptions of what incarceration implies affect our perception of Xu’s artistic production? This talk will address these questions in considering multiple aspects of site and space as scaffolding for understanding Xu Wei’s practice of calligraphy, especially in the first couple of years of his incarceration.
在1566年末至1573年期間，才華洋溢的文學家與書畫家徐渭的世界倏地緊縮。徐渭由於懷疑妻子通姦而將其殘忍殺害後，被關押在紹興縣的監牢。徐渭被囚禁的這段時間被認為是使其成為書畫藝術家的重要因素，同時亦是其書法發展出個人風格的時間。但對於徐渭下獄的這段期間，我們實際上瞭解多少？當代對於入獄的意涵與偏見如何影響我們對徐渭藝術創作的詮釋？此演講將著重在徐渭甫入獄的數年，以多樣之地點與空間作為基礎，處理以上問題與徐渭在書法的創作與實踐。
