After a long hiatus and many off-the-record conversations, I accepted an invitation from Eva de Groote to visit her in Ghent at Vooruit Media Art Centre and somehow managed to time the trip so that I had the pleasure of conversing with many of the artists presenting their work in the festival: The Game Is Up! How to Save the World in Ten Days
This was my first official visit as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Prosperity, Cultural Consulat Rondeel. Read the full report on meetings and activities.
Listen here to the fabulous sounds from the Danube and Rhine, where I had the good fortune to join Mu collective and other artists on the nomadic sound art barge and travel from Bratislava to Strasbourg.
Conversations from Transit Lounge Radio will be part of the program by artists in residence from reboot.fm
Cornerhouse Gallery 1 will be transformed into the ARTRADIO production and broadcasting studio. Open to visitors, the studio will form the base for a dynamic array of live residency broadcasts, events, pre-recorded, and archive programmes, as well as invited feeds, guest slots and submitted content. ARTRADIO will reach into people’s homes, offices, cars…, wherever they listen to the radio, and offer gallery visitors a chance to listen whilst also making transparent the usually hidden mechanisms of radio, one of the most avidly followed and accessible forms of media.
Broadcasting on 106.5 FM and online from Fri 29 June – Weds 35 July 2007 (inclusive)
Broadcasting online until Sun 26 August 2007 (inclusive)
All from Cornerhouse Gallery 1. Gallery exhibitions open Sat 30 June – Sun 26 August 2007
I didn’t make it to Venice for the Biennale, but you can listen to conversations with artists there by these young Italian artists from Radio Arte Mobile.
ACHILLE BONITO OLIVA:
A GROUP OF VERY YOUNG ARTISTS, ALL RECENTLY GRADUATED AT IUAV (ISTITUTO UNIVERSITARIO DI ARCHITETTURA DI VENEZIA), GO AROUND THE LAGOON CITY IN THE SPACES THAT HOST THE EXHIBITIONS AND COLLATERAL EVENTS OF THE BIENNALE. THEY MEET AS MANY OF THE ARTISTS AS POSSIBLE THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE BIENNALE THROUGH INTERVIEWS AND WANT TO TESTIFY THEIR PRESENCE LIVE, INTENDED NOT ONLY AS PRODUCERS OF THE WORKS ON DISPLAY, BUT ALSO AS AUTHORS OF A POETIC THOUGHT EXPRESSED WITH THE WORD.
RAM – RADIOARTEMOBILE PROMOTES THESE LOOSE ENCOUNTERS, HAND TO HAND WITH ARTISTS OF DIFFERENT GENERETIONS AND COUNTRIES, UNDER THE GESTURE OF THE VERBAL MEETING AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE. A FURTHER STEP IN COMMUNICATION BEHIND AN ART SYSTEM THAT, RATHER, MOVES UNDER THE PERFORMATIVE GESTURE OF THE PUBLIC EVENT. INSTEAD , “TALK WITH ME” REPRESENTS THE ATTEMPT TO CREATE A SPACE OF CULTURAL INTIMACY THAT PERMITS ARTISTS TO SPEAK AND LISTEN TO EACH OTHER, IN A DIMENSION THAT EXCLUDES COMPETITION AND INCLUDES A SOCRATIC CADENCE.

Radio in transit is receiving and transmitting from wherever you are.
On a fine August day in Copenhagen, the conversation that started the transit radio lounge. Jacob Kirkegaard and Jodi Rose talking beside a lake about the secret singing of the world, and Jacob’s recordings of nuclear power stations, ice, and an icelandic volcano.
