Praneet Soi explores the historic Silk Road that made cultural exchange between India and China possible. That not only led to the spreading of Buddhism, but also to a structural exchange of age-old craft technologies and visual grammars. Through a "notational methodology," Praneet Soi translates visual migrations into a new, contemporary iconography of punctuation to be developed by him during a residency period of several months in a traditional porcelain workshop. The starting point is the passed-down vocabulary artisans use when painting porcelain tiles. To fifty of these tiles Praneet Soi will add drawings of the urban nature of the city of Guangzhou.
