Long time no posts, so here’s one

Sorry for the hiatus of posts, I’ve been busy translating a lot of sound art-related texts, for instance Justin Zhong Minjie’s artist’s statement for his Phonography project with D-Fuse, the articles and lecture transcriptions which will be published by British Council China as a book documenting their Sound and the City project last year (the book is edited by Yan Jun). In the meantime I have to keep track of the Battersea thing too, speaking of which, it turned out that the deserted power station is being strictly protected to the point that you can’t even hang a poster on the walls inside, and no audience will be admitted to Turbine Hall B, which we thought could be used for our Chinese sound art survey exhibition. Well actually it _is_ for that purpose but since you can’t get in and the space is huge (30 * 80 metres, with a height of around 25 metres), there’s no point in placing the PA system inside and having audience listening outside. So we ended up putting the loudspeakers on the 30 * 15 metres platform in front of the entrance. Not an ideal scenario but I think the double-CD compilation that we planned to release as a document of the exhibition weighs more.

Ok, end of transmission and back to the temporary blog-free zone……
