「...當思緒不斷飄流
當牆不斷轉移
我們這偉大的藍色世界
如同是樹葉製成之屋
在風臨到之前。」
——〈樹葉之屋 〉馬克·Z·丹尼爾勒夫斯基(Mark Z. Danielewski)

展覽「邊角的風標」在陳庭榕對權力體系中的訊息傳遞(transmission)、記憶和身份詮釋與結構的創作關注下發展。本展覽延續討論作品〈我只在乎你（細語）〉（2018）中的創作文本。藝術家回溯冷戰心戰喊話這段特別時期，尋訪聲音武器略襲下的聲音記憶。她探索金門這座因其地理位置而被作為對峙點、被輾轉歸屬、共體抗戰的島嶼的聲音領域（acoustic territory）與肉體規程（body regulation）。展覽中作品圍繞「作用力」的物理性反饋與心理性反饋發展。來探討群體和領域間的張力牽制、反抗與消弭融合；探討權力系統中的規訓（discipline）、形塑與再敘事。
藝術家以聲音動力裝置、雕塑、物件以及文字作為媒介，放大微小時刻，以及其與其片段化的對峙。觀眾一踏入展場即進入藝術家設定的連鎖反應當中，以其身體的介入驅動編程內容。聲音、記憶、型態在場中被擷取重述；訊息遞減的訊號，藉由疊合與回放被弔詭地擴大。它們成為共振身體的聲音體積，陳庭榕藉此類比記憶與情感，經過權力規訓與再述說而抽象化的過程。一探知識規準下被再製變形的模組，在錯置的時空中成為萬花迷宮。
“….
when thoughts keep drifting
as walls keep shifting
and this great blue world of ours
seems a house of leaves
moments before the wind.”

—House of Leaves, Mark Z. Danielewski
Ting-Jung Chen develops her solo exhibition Wind Arrows On A Corner Side under her focus on the transmission, memory, and identity interpretation and construction in authority systems.
The exhibition carries on the discussion of the work You Are the Only One I Care About (whisper) (2018), which was shown in Kunsthalle Wien in 2018. The artist traces back to the Cold War and examines the acoustic memory under the strategic attack of psychological warfare and sonic weapons during this period. Chen explores the acoustic territory and body regulation in the context of Kinmen. Due to its geographical position, the island was distributed to different sovereignties, and it was an embattled standoff point on the frontier between sovereignties that both called for unity.
The works proceed from these observations and revolve around the development of physical feedback and psychological feedback of "pressure", and, subsequently, the tension, resistance, and fusion between diverse communities and territories. They aim to explore the discipline and shaping within power systems and the re-writing of narratives. Chen uses sound and kinetic installations, sculptures, objects, and texts as the medium to amplify tiny moments and their confrontation.
The moment when the audience steps into the exhibition venue, their physical intervention will trigger a chain reaction set by the artist. Voices, memories, and patterns are captured and reiterated in the space. The signals of diminishing information are paradoxically expanded by superimposing and playbacks. They become the volume of sound that resonates with the body. The artist analogized the abstract process of memories and emotions through authority discipline. Like the standardized modules that may vary from reproductions, it has become a labyrinth/kaleidoscope of a dislocated time and space.

2009臺灣國立臺灣大學哲學系學士畢業；2015德國漢堡藝術學院自由藝術學士畢業；2018奧地利維也納藝術學院自由藝術碩士畢業。
陳庭榕的藝術創作紮根於她對文化差異、政治符號，及其在變形文本中衍生的混種聯覺的層層反思；她藉由對文化工業人工物的複製重置，探索著記憶、意識價值與政治身份，在全球化、戀物、移動性社會中的成像與轉型。或慣習、徵徽、手勢、修辭、 節奏；或聲響、話語、行為、影像、物——它們在空間裝置中，展演出覆疊的時空經緯及多重社會音譯。藉此，藝術家將混匯畫為立體寰圖。

陳庭榕是奧地利維也納美術館獎2018年的得主。她同時也是眾多獎學金及獎項的獲獎人：2020臺灣國藝會補助、2020奧地利聯邦政府獎學金、2019洛杉磯/維也納MAK-Schindler獎學金與駐村獎助、2017日本橫濱黃金町駐村獎助、2015臺北獎入選、2015/16 德國國家獎學金(Deutschlandstipendium)、2015德國HISCOX藝術獎短單⋯⋯等。在不同的國際藝術機構中，都可見她的作品展出：奧地利美景宮21er Haus美術館、奧地利維也納美術館、德國漢堡美術館、日本橫濱黃金町、美國加州18街藝術中心、臺灣國立臺灣美術館、臺灣臺北市立美術館⋯⋯等。

Her art praxis which relates to historiography and cultural and political semiotics, focuses on collective memories, appropriation, and processes of empowerment.
Habitus, insignia, gestures, rhetoric, rhythm. Or, sounds, textuality, performance, images, objects.
By reproducing artifacts of the culture industry, representation of ideology, and their relationship to human beings, the artist discusses identity transformation and draws the overlapping culture mingling into a spatial atlas.
