Xi Cai and Leah Silver WuJi11 ManchesterVT Mother Daughter Painting Performance

Xi Cai (pronounced shee tsai) and Leah Silver collaborating on one of the painting performances of the Wu Ji (Infinity Within) Series with thanks to Beth Meachem of Greater Manchester Arts Council and Manchester in the Mountains Chamber of Commerce for hosting the event. This ongoing series of neo-calligraphy contemporary Chinese enamel on canvas works are entitled Wu Ji - translated as Infinity Within. Wu means nothingness. Ji means infinite. Together, it is Infinity Within. This word for infinity has been popularized in Tai Chi (also rendered as taiji) - meaning the Great Infinite and referring to the movement and dance for health that originated as martial arts routines. Chinese traditional breathing exercise (qigong) and tai ji exercise has helped me channel energy when I paint. Qigong is an aspect of traditional Chinese medicine that focuses on the energy and flow within and around the body. Tai ji movement relates to the endless movement of the Great (tai) Infinity (ji). On occasion Cai presents painting performances for the public as part of the Wu Ji series. This video (following the initial 12 Wu Ji videos) documents a mother daughter collaboration painting performance in Manchester, Vermont at a festival in August 2008. For more information including updates on future events related to the Wu Ji paintings and painting performances, contact the C.X.
