The sound of rainwater brushing over the roadside slopes after a downpour, the orderly chaos of the goods displayed in the wet market, the moss lightly growing in fish tanks or on tiles may not be enough to attract the attention of others. However, these seemingly meaningless repetitions in life often make the artist Tsang Sin-yu stand still and stare, and have become the source of her creations.

Tsang Sin-yu composes and teaches classical music, while focusing her studies on sound art and experimental music, and concerning herself primarily with the spatial and sonic relationships of different environments. In Unintentional Pause, her first solo exhibition, Tsang will emulate and arrange the sounds which impressed her and which she has captured at home or in the city, by means of remixing, installing, and assembling. Making use of her extensive collection of unwanted items found at home and in the city, her knowledge of gardening and ikebana, and her childhood memories of bonsai, she will create a scene adorned with flowing water and a hint of greenery, with which to call for the visitor to pause a while.

A practice room will also be installed in the exhibition, featuring several listening and recording exercises the artist has performed out of curiosity or bewilderment over the past few years, as if the visitor can borrow her “spare ears”.

大雨過後流水擦過路邊斜坡的聲音、街市中貨物亂中有序的展示方式、魚缸裡或地磚上長出的微薄青苔或許都未足以令人傾聽或細看注視。這些時常在生活中重複出現,看似沒甚麼意思,卻常令藝術家曾倩瑜駐足停留,也成了她創作之源。

曾倩瑜主要研究聲音藝術和實驗音樂,也有作曲及教授古典音樂等,特別關注於不同環境中空間與聽覺之關係。〈無意駐足〉為曾倩瑜首個個人展覽,她將仿效和編製一些她從家裡和城市中聽過並留下深刻印象的聲音,再將他們重新混合、配置、拼湊,並展現於田灣的空間。曾氏將盡量運用之前儲存過多的東西及都市中被人遺棄的偶拾物,參照園藝、花道和她小時候家中出現過的盆景,以流動的水和淡淡綠意,去裝組一個讓人駐足徘徊的場景。

展覽場內還有一個練習室,展示曾倩瑜過去幾年因她的好奇和不解而設計的一些聆聽及錄音練習,彷彿準備了好幾套「後備耳朵」供人於場內借用。
