Locations
Berlin-Bucharest-Budapest-Lisbon-London-Marseilles-Tbilisi-Vienna
The radio space is rather a public space than a stage or an expected context of art; an everyday medium linked with everyday habits of audiences.
Some of the live acts take place from outdoor locations, like the orchestra of watermill-stones from rural areas in UK, Portugal and Georgia, the climbing of a cliff in Spain or a street performance in Vienna; obviously, the outdoor setting is traditional for live broadcasting. In some locations live acts are part of ongoing experiments to improve the radio stations’ live broadcasting capacities.
In Berlin and Bucharest live acts take the non-stage of radio towards a stage situation;
in Berlin as a mini-Radio installation at an artists’ co-operative gallery for photography, various sound outputs are installed at the 3 room gallery for a polyphonic listening experience.
In Bucharest live acts are performed at a teahouse / library /eventspace, a multi-functional semi-public space and a spot for cultural presentations and debate.
Partner Radio Stations in Budapest, London, Tbilisi and Vienna.
