女子噪音台
北京箭厂空间的场外项目
客座策展人：富源

作品《女子噪音台》是一个适用于女性身份认同的个体录制噪音音乐的音响工作室，一个开放互动的平台。它独特的参与方式体现了箭厂空间的核心理念，并以重新构建的形式将它推广到更远的地方。作为起源且根植于胡同的独立而另类的艺术空间，女子噪音台亦可视为扉美术馆展厅内的一个自主的创意空间。箭厂的宗旨是为艺术家提供不同的场景进行实验；而女子噪音台则为非传统的创意追求提供了一个不同寻常的空间。

女子噪音台的尺寸和实体模仿箭厂在胡同里的门面，噪音台朝外的墙与箭厂在北京的门面相仿，包括可以看见里面的窗户。无论是胡同，还是录音台，都必须从一个小小的后门进入空间内部。概念上讲，箭厂是个根植于旧城中心的模棱两可、自相矛盾的存在，它无法与相邻的建筑归为一类，有其自身的运作规则。相对于画廊里的其他艺术品，女子噪音台亦呈现为离经叛道、色彩鲜艳、特立独行的孤立结构。这种孤立是字面上的，隔音墙令周围的声音无法进入这个空间。空间内音质的变化让人得以放松休整，分隔出一个适合发挥想象力的保护性环境。

女子噪音台是为录音而设计，但它也可以用于实验、合作、非正式表演、小型聚会，或者只是作为休憩的安静地方。除了配备录音设施，女子噪音台还开通了播客，可以上传录音到公共平台。女子噪音台希望通过这个网上平台扩大在录音室里展示的行动和声音的影响力，让这些通常被忽略的非主流的反响得到更多公众的关注，为这些少被人听见的声音和调查提供一条通向外界的管道。

与录音室同期进行项目包括一系列教授如何使用录音棚的工作坊，关于噪音音乐、DJ课程和女权主义地下朋克杂志等内容的相关讲座以及中国地下音乐界女性音乐家生态的研讨会。等等。活动安排将在http://arrowfactory.org.cn/?page=noiseradiofem 和https://www.ximalaya.com/zhubo/133967596/更新。

NOISE RADIO FEM 女子噪音台
An off-site project of Beijing’s Arrow Factory Space
In collaboration with guest curator Yuan Fuca

For Fei Arts’ 1st Borderless Art Season, Beijing-based Arrow Factory presents NOISE RADIO FEM, an interactive, open-platform sound-studio for female-identifying individuals to record noise music. NOISE RADIO FEM is a unique engagement that adopts Arrow Factory’s conceptual core and dispatches the idea to a remote location, in a re-configured format. Taking cues from Arrow Factory’s setup as an independent, alternative art space embedded in the hutongs, NOISE RADIO FEM is also conceptualized as an autonomous creative space within the Fei Arts exhibition hall. Arrow Factory’s aim is to give artists a different context with which to experiment; NOISE RADIO FEM provides a distinct space for non-conventional creative pursuits. The size and physical footprint of the NOISE RADIO FEM recording studio mimics the facade of Arrow Factory’s hutong storefront. The outward facing wall of the sound studio is modeled on Arrow Factory’s Beijing façade, including the window that gives a view to the inside. In both the hutongs and the recording studio, access into the space is through a small back door. Conceptually, Arrow Factory functions as an ambiguous non-sequitur embedded in the center of the old city, categorically separate from its neighbors, with its own rules of engagement. NOISE RADIO FEM also presents itself as an aberration, a brightly colored, free-standing, isolated structure, amongst other artworks on the gallery floor. This isolation of the studio is literal; soundproof walls block ambient sounds from entering the space. This change in spatial sound quality allows for a moment of respite, carving out a protective environment for imaginative play.

NOISE RADIO FEM is designed for making sound recordings, but it can also be used for experimentation, collaboration, informal performances, small-scale gatherings or just as a quiet space to rest. Along with the physical studio, NOISE RADIO FEM also has a virtual presence as a podcast channel where recordings can be uploaded and accessed by the public. Through this online platform, NOISE RADIO FEM hopes to amplify the actions and sounds that manifest in the studio and extend their life into the online sphere. These often overlooked, non-mainstream reverberations are given the potential for an expanded listening audience, granting these rarely heard voices and investigations a channel to the outside world.

NOISE RADIO FEM’s framework for limiting gender participation is intentionally provocative. With new awareness of gender fluidity, revived interest in feminism, and increasing social-network complexity, highlighting female-identified individuals who make noise music offers a subtle counterpoint to the ubiquitous male-dominated voice in art circles and in society at large. The project draws attention to an overlooked, edgy, dynamic and innovative art practice that is currently happening in sound and performance circles. NOISE RADIO FEM designates an amorphous space of ‘otherness’ which parallels Arrow Factory’s operational mode in the hutongs. The existence of these types of spaces is in itself a subtle act of resistance. Rejecting prescribed actions or activities, both NOISE RADIO FEM and Arrow Factory allow a rare and precious opportunity for that which is undefined, functionally ambiguous and open-ended to exist and persist in our midst.

TO PARTICIPATE

Interested parties are invited to book a time slot in the NOISE RADIO FEM studio, bring their own instruments and use the recording equipment for free during the museum’s regular opening hours. Facilitators will be on hand to answer technical questions and show participants the basics of using the recording equipment. With participants’ permission, recordings will be collected and linked on the Ximalaya and Arrow Factory websites as a noise-only podcast channel. The resulting sound and noise catalog is at: http://arrowfactory.org.cn/?page=noiseradiofem

NOISE RADIO FEM is equipped with three (3) relatively high quality mics, three (3) headphones, one (1) sound mixer, one (1) speaker/monitors, and a desktop computer loaded with Pro-tools and other sound recording software. Finished sound files can be copied to a USB drive to take home.

Running in parallel with the recording studio, will be programming that includes additional events. An up-to-date schedule of events will be posted at http://arrowfactory.org.cn/?page=noiseradiofem and at https://www.ximalaya.com/zhubo/133967596/
