Recently, Wu Chi-Tsung debuted his new work series, the Calligraphy Series, at 2023 Hengshan Calligraphy Biennial. Co-organized by Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts and Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center and co-curated by Wu Chao Jen Philip and Chen I Tso, the inaugural biennial, titled “Era of Principle and No Principle Interwoven”,  is centered on the development and future prospect of Chinese Calligraphy in the context of contemporary art.

‘In this video, a length of a paper is attached to a modified treadmill. After turning the treadmill on, Wu uses a brush to write on the moving paper. As he attempts to transcribe the famous Letter of Loss and Confusion ( Mil Whi) by Wang Xizhi, the speed of the paper’s motion makes writing futile as all characters turn out to be entirely illegible. The speed of the treadmill represents the rapid changes in the spatiotemporal setting. Not only is the brush unable to cope with the circumstances, but it is also incapable to engage in a meaningful conversation with the paper. ‘ （Quoted from curatorial statement by Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center）

吳季璁新作《書法習作》於首屆橫山書藝雙年展發表。本作是吳季璁特別為本此展覽的新創作品。雙年展由桃園市立美術館與橫山書法藝術館合辦，由策展人吳超然、機構策展人陳俋佐共同企劃，以《法與無法交織的年代─書法作為一種視覺形式》為主題，聚焦當代藝術語境下書法藝術的未來。

「本作是吳季璁特別為本此展覽的新創作品。在這件錄像中，他在改裝的跑步機上貼上一張紙，啟動跑步機後，用毛筆在滾動中的紙上書寫。他企圖臨摹王義之的《喪亂帖》，但因為速度的開係，最終無法成宇。這個創作中跑步機的速度指涉了時空環境下的轉變，毛筆不僅雞以帤駁，更無法和紙張產生有意義的對話。」(節選自橫山書法藝術館策展論述)
