This practice- based research explores the rich history of radio as an artistic medium and the relationship between the artist and technology, emphasising the role of the artist as a mediator between broadcast institutions and a listening public. It considers how radio art might be defined in relation to sound art, music and media art, mapping its shifting parameters in the digital era and prompting a consideration of how radio appears to be moving from a dispersed „live‟ event to one consumed „on demand‟ by a segmented audience across multiple platforms. Exploring the implications of this transition through my radio practice focuses upon the productive tensions which characterise the artist‟s engagement with radio technology, specifically between the autonomous potentialities offered by the reappropriation of obsolete technology and the proliferation of new infrastructures and networks promised by the exponential development of new media. Switch Off takes as its overarching theme the possible futures for FM radio, incorporating elements from eight „trace‟ stations, produced as a series of radio actions investigating these tensions. Interviews have been conducted with case study subjects Vicki Bennett, Anna Friz, LIGNA, Hildegard Westerkamp and Gregory Whitehead, whose work was chosen as being exemplary of the five recurrent facets of radio arts practice I have identified: Appropriation, Transmission, Activism, Soundscape and Performance. These categories are derived from the genealogy of experimental radiophonic practice set out in Chapter One. 3 Acknowledgements I would like to thank James Backhouse and Angus Carlyle for their time and invaluable support, and Cathy Lane, who let me follow my own path and reminded me how important feminism is. Many thanks to my case studies and all those who supported me or took part in the many projects which make up this research. Special thanks to Theo Sykes and Genetic Moo. I wish to dedicate this text to sound and radio artists across the globe, and to my son Ewart. 4 Contents Abstract: p.2 Acknowledgements: p.3 Practice Portfolio: Exhibitions, Events, Broadcasts, Talks and Interviews conducted as part of Doctoral Research: pp.6–10 List of Illustrations: p.11-12 Pen Drive Contents and Practice Websites: p.13–14 Introduction: Tuning In: pp.15–22 Chapter One: Histories: pp.23–74 1.1 Introduction 1.10 Max Neuhaus Radio Events 1.2 Futurist Birth of Radio Art 1.11 Artist Radio Key Influences, Free Radio 1.3 Early Russian Radio 1.12 Telecommunication Arts 1.4 The BBC: Dramatic Control 1.13 Tetsuo Kogawa: Micro FM 1.5 The German Experience 1.14 Wojciech Bruszewski – Radio Ruins of 1.6 French Radio Arts Roots: Dadaism to Art Surrealism 1.15 Radio Rethink, Canada 1.7 Literary Repression 1.16 The First International Festival of 1.8 Cage and German Radio Radio Art 1.9 The Rise of the Radiophonic Studios: Women, Radiophonic Workshop and Polish Radio Experimental Studio 5 Chapter Two: Public Radio, UK Community Radio and the Internet pp.75–103 2.1 Introduction 2.5 Transparency and Editorial Concerns 2.2 Community Arts Radio in UK History 2.6 Wider Sector Issues 2.3 Scope for UK Artists 2.7 The Internet 2.4 Funding 2.8 Transmission Arts Chapter Three: Defining Radio Art pp.104–122 Chapter Four: Case Studies pp.123–165 4.1 Hildegard Westerkamp 4.4 Gregory Whitehead 4.2 Anna Friz 4.5 Vicki Bennett 4.3 LIGNA Chapter Five: Practice pp.166–219 5.1 Overview 5.7 Babble Station (2012) 5.2 Numbers (2012) 5.8 Radio Jam (2012) 5.3 Radio Mind (2012) 5.9 Sound Train (2012) 5.4 Radio Recall (2013) 5.10 Radio Arts Activity Overview (2005– 2014) 5.5 Lone Broadcast (2012) 5.11 Practice Conclusion 5.6 Commercial Break (2012) Bibliography: pp.220–244 6 Practice Portfolio: Exhibitions, Events, Broadcasts and Talks Conducted as Part of Doctoral Research Exhibitions 2014 Spiritual Radio, commissioned for Unbinding the Book by Jotta and Blurb for London Art Book Fair, Whitechapel Gallery,25th–28th September.

  • Wysing Arts Centre
    WYSING ARTS CENTRE RAVIOLI ME AWAY THE VIEW FROM BEHIND THE FUTURISTIC ROSE TRELLIS An opera and exhibition by artist-musicians, Ravioli Me Away 10 February to 14 April Wysing Arts Centre 5.30–7.30pm, 9 February, performance premiere 8–10pm launch of exhibition and party with DJs Complimentary tickets and travel from London for press available The View From Behind The Futuristic Rose Trellis is an ambitious new immersive exhibition and live work by Ravioli Me Away (Sian Dorrer, Rosie Ridgway and Alice Theobald). The exhibition, which will transform Wysing’s gallery in its entirety, will act as a set for the performance and will include new sculptural works and costumes alongside a three-screen video installation. The live work, described by the artists as an opera, features sixteen new multi-genre musical compositions across three acts. The artists have located the work within a gallery setting to enable a closer interaction with audience members who will also be able to engage with costumes and objects. The View From Behind The Futuristic Rose Trellis is a colourful, virtuous comi-tragic take on greed, freedom, individual and collective aspiration and the cycle of life, taking the audience through a multidimensional journey as ‘the trapped soul of humanity’ searches for a body that can give it meaning. To accompany the exhibition and performance, a limited-edition vinyl record of the soundtrack, with an accompanying songbook, will be released on the Wysing Polyphonic record label. “We are thrilled to be launching Wysing’s 30th anniversary programme with this ambitious exhibition and live production.

Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo Programa de Estudos Pós-Graduados em Ciências Sociais Gustavo Ferreira Simões o desconcerto anarquista de john cage Tese apresentada à Banca Examinadora da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, como exigência parcial para obtenção do título de Doutor em Ciências Sociais sob orientação do Prof. Dr. Edson Passetti. São Paulo 2017 ! ______________________ ______________________ ______________________ ______________________ ______________________ ! RESUMO Em 1988, John Cage inventou Anarchy , livro em que, a partir de escritos experimentais, valorizou as vidas de mulheres e homens anarquistas que marcaram seu percurso ético-estético libertário desde meados dos anos 1940 até a década de 1990, quando em seus últimos trabalhos, “number pieces” (1987-1992), apresentou o que denominou “harmonia anárquica”. Foi a partir da coexistência com artistas e militantes na Black Mountain College, no final da década de 1940, assim como em Nova York com o The Living Theatre (TLT) , que o artista já conhecido por seu corajoso “piano preparado” passou a elaborar o anarquismo como prática de vida. “4’33” (1952), ação direta contra a representação musical dos sons e em favor da incorporação dos ruídos excluídos pelas salas de concerto, irrompeu empolgada por essa aproximação libertária. Nas décadas seguintes, vivendo ao lado de artistas e anarquistas, afastado da cidade, em Stonypoint, iniciou a publicação de how to improve the world (you only make matters worse) (1965-1982), diário mantido por mais de quinze anos e no qual apresentou a lida com os escritos de Henry David Thoreau, preocupações antimilitares e ecológicas.

Sovety a scene from RIA Novosti Photo by FREE www.nottinghamcontemporary.org LeftLion Magazine Issue 33 contents February - March 2010 editorial Welcome to our first issue of 2010. I’ve noticed a few comments floating about recently about how now we’re in a new decade we are supposed to be ‘living in the future’. Obviously that statement is a paradox in itself, but I think the crux of the beef is that you still can’t buy Back To The Future hoverboards and James Bond jetpacks in Argos. There’s a simple solution to cure this disillusionment: watch 2010 (the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey) as I did this week. It’s highly disappointing and after it’s finished you’ll be glad to get back to your humdrum life again. Anyway, as usual we’ve got a tangfastic packet of Nottingham Culture for you within these pages.
