Abstract

Exhibition is an activity to present works of art from various artists. In an exhibition, an artist aims to communicate the work that has been made so that it can be enjoyed and appreciated by the public. MACAN Museum is a place for contemporary artists to display their works. XU BING is a contemporary artist from China with a work entitled Square Word Calligraphy. This artwork tells about how language and words become a barrier between individuals and other individuals. XU BING makes Chinese characters that can be understood by everyone who reads them without having to learn Chinese characters because they have meanings that can be read not only in English but can be adapted into Indonesian. This study aimed to find out how the meaning of the message of creativity in calligraphy works. The theoretical review used in this research is Verbal and Nonverbal Communication, Message Meaning and Creativity. To answer the formulation of the problem, this study uses a qualitative research approach with semiotic analysis of Ferdinand de Saussure, who sees the phenomenon of signs using a sign triangle, namely Sign, Signify, and Signifier. The research results using Saussure’s semiotic analysis are shown in several calligraphy works that have the meaning of proverb messages that are included in the syntagmatic type and have the characteristics of creative thinking.
