精讀①:畫廊作為音量
Salomé Voegelin, The Political Possibility of Sound: Fragments of Listening (2018)
"In sound, the gallery becomes an intensity rather than an architectural structure. The acoustic environment is a viscid connecting of materials, lights, sounds, works and people in co-production. The space produced is contingent and temporary but persuasive through the affective energy of its volume. Sound compels, it obliges."
PSW 譯:「在聲音中,畫廊變成一種強度,而不是一個建築結構。聲響環境是材料、燈光、聲音、作品與人共同生產出來的一種黏稠連結。這個被生產出來的空間是偶然而暫時的,但透過其音量的情動能量而具有說服力。聲音促使人,聲音使人有義務。」(p.47)
畫廊不是先存在、聲音後來被放進去。有了聲音,畫廊才成為「這一次」的畫廊。
