Live Stage: Radius: Episode 23
Radius : Episode 23 will host Radio Cegeste. Sally Ann McIntyre lives in Dunedin, New Zealand, and works with radio, sound and writing. She runs the mini FM station Radio Cegeste as a project based platform for live transmission art :: April 28 & 29 at 12am CST ::
Radius will broadcast “dear friends who have died are all talking to me tonight / all at once”. As a site-specific, spectator-less, solo performance, “dear friends who have died are all talking to me tonight / all at once” re-constructs and re-imagines personal and public memory through the medium of transmission, as an appropriate framework for uncertain, shifting structural and social realities.
Small clusters of radio receivers, constantly shifted around the space, pick up the signal from a stationary mini FM transmitter. These receivers also engage with each other, chattering and heterodyning, becoming analogous to groups of people talking, and the social space of a gallery opening. Such chatter interjects the night airwaves of Dunedin, full of noise, clashing frequencies, and etheric vocal infiltrations, into what is usually perceived as the bounded space, silence and temporal amnesia of the ‘white cube’.
Radius will transmit “dear friends who have died are all talking to me tonight” all at once on April 28 & 29 at 12am CST.
