Radiotemporaire : La radio

Project

Radiotemporaire : La radio

Presentation

Radio Temporaire proposes a programme that gives access to questions of new media and their representations, pedagogies and the transmission of knowledge, the relationship between “sexuality and space”, current forms of resistance, new geographies and global representations, cultural studies, and the exploration of orality as a mode of transmission, proposed by contributors of different generations, nationalities, cultures and experiences, including Stuart Hall, members of the international journal of art, theory and film Vor der Information, as well as personalities more directly involved in the world of radio . The transmissions will be broadcast in different languages.

Radio Temporaire focuses on the need for artistic and cultural dialogue in the face of globalisation, as well as the contemporary migration of ideas and cultures. We have chosen the medium of the radio as an exhibition space in order to attempt to bring together the different approaches and experiences that make up our cultural identity today in its contingency and temporality. After the invention of television and other visual forms, radio has remained––and continues to be––an important means of representing experiences such as situations of war and crisis or those of exiled communities and marginalized groups. New musical genres of the second half of the 20th century, such as reggae and rap, were born out of the appropriation of radio technology. In the field of art, the interest in radio was reinforced by the reconsideration of language as a critical medium of representation and the occultation of language in the visual arts of modernity. Let us recall Moholy-Nagy’s early sound experiments (groove-script alphabet), Bertolt Brecht’s interest in radio, Walter Benjamin’s direct involvement, the collaboration between the Frankfurt School and Lazarfield’s Research Institute in Los Angeles, to give just a few historical examples. Recent works such as Coco Fusco and Gômez-Peria’s Norte-Sur and The Year of the White Bear (1992) and Lincoln Tobier’s radio exhibitions, show the possible relevance of the radio medium in contemporary art.
