都说城市是一个迷局，一花一木、每一寸建筑皆滋养着一批批视觉艺术家。对另一拨声音艺术家而言，他们乐于撷取这个迷局的细枝末节，加以雕琢浇灌，最后编织出一株声音的盆景，而迷底尽刻在声音的背面。

今天，在我们这样的城市里，把声音艺术请进美术馆，早已是行业的战略战术。当明星艺术家争相登台时，我们也有理由为新晋的创作者们开出舞台，欣赏他们为这个城市栽培的声音盆景。为此，朱屺瞻艺术馆的人文雅集辟出“新声”单元，着重推荐目前活跃的青年创作者。“盆景留声”作为单元的初啼，邀请了王长存和梅兰尼 ·维拉德（德国）奉上一组声音小品。静谧写意是盆景的神髓，也是这两位年轻艺术家作品的点睛之笔。

艺术家简介：
在中国青年一代声音艺术家中，王长存算是资历老道的一位。早在2003年，其多首作品被选入全球第一张中国声音艺术选辑《中国声音前线》（CHINA: the Sonic Avant-garde，Post-Concrete出版）并于同年十一月参加国内首次大型国际实验音乐节“北京声纳 2003”演出。次年十月，王长存远赴欧开始了历时一月的巡演，所到国家有法国、荷兰、比利时等。其作品的鲜活特质受到比利时著名实验音乐厂牌Sub Rosa的关注，邀请其创作个人专辑。另外，Sub Rosa即将发行的八碟装选辑“二十世纪电子音乐历史回顾”亦会收录王长存的部分作品。

梅兰尼·维拉德是一位致力于研究声音空间感和符号意义的艺术家。其作品曾在澳大利亚的澳洲当代艺术中心、当代摄影中心、站台画廊、底层画廊等多处展出，此外她还在不同的公共空间内创作了多个声音装置作品。目前她不仅完成了两部短片的配乐，还同墨尔本的大脑科技中心合作进行创作基于大脑活动数据激发的声音作品。最近在上海逗留期间她通过采样完成了一批新的环境声音作品。

The Art Salon at Zhu Qizhan Art Museum is proud to launch the Pretty Young Thing, a series tailored for young talents dedicated to sound art. How Does Bonsai Sound kicks off this program with a gig featuring Shanghai-based Wang Changcun and Berlin-based visiting artist Melanie Velarde.

In common with their peers, Wang and Velarde take the city as great inspiration. They’ve been traveling through cities over the years, walking across the crowds and sampling all the arresting sounds that pass by. Hence, their oeuvres embrace the qualities of the cities – subtle, sensual, yet prosaic – which in turn have rendered their works the acoustic bonsai by epitomizing the soundscape of the cities they have sojourned in.

Profile:
As one of the most active figures on Chinese sound art scene, Wang Changcun started his career years ago and has already produced a large body of works that are highly lauded worldwide. In 2003 his several pieces were chosen for the first ever Chinese sound art compilation CHINA: the Sonic Avant-garde. Following his jam at Beijing Sounding 2003, Wang made his debut in Europe which lasted for one month, touring to countries like France, Netherlands, and Belgium, etc. His then mellow and thoughtful production caught the attention of the noted label Sub Rosa and landed him the opportunity to issue his solo album under the legendary label.

Melanie Velarde, a female sound artist interested in the spatial and semiotic properties of mostly existing sound, has been using sound from field recordings and digital processing to produce audio/sensual textures that can be experienced within a defined space usually in form of sound and video installations. Having been based in Melbourne, Australia for several years, she has exhibited amongst others at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, The Centre for Contemporary Photography, Platform Gallery, First Floor Gallery, West Space Gallery as well as at numerous public sites, such as a laundry mat, shop window, subway station or hotel. She is currently developing a collaborative project with the Brain Science Institute in Melbourne, that will involve sound generated by brain activity data for installation as well as composing the soundtrack for 2 new short film projects.

朱屺瞻艺术馆是以中国当代著名书画大师朱屺瞻先生命名的一座公立美术馆，1995年建成开馆。走过十年创业之路，本馆将以“传统创新、现代经典与当今视觉”为学术定位，并以“传承历史文脉、创新现代经典、培养艺术新锐”为办馆理念。它既是收藏、陈列与研究朱屺瞻先生书画艺术的专门机构，也是开展国内外传统与当代艺术交流的重要窗口，履行中小型艺术博物馆的功能。

With a ten years’ long history, Zhu Qizhan Art Museum is one of the major public museums in Shanghai and serves as a platform for both traditional and contemporary art.
