El pasado mes de noviembre dio comienzo en el ZKM (Karlsruhe, Alemania) una exposición centrada en la radio como medio artístico. Es la misma muestra que se hizo el año pasado en el NBK berlinés.

Before division and specialization in the single disciplines began setting in from around the 1930s on, the historical avant-garde era in the fine arts constituted a mutually fertile synthesis. The radio was where this interplay between the arts would also repeatedly put into question the predominance of dialog-centered radio plays.

The exhibition project Sounds. Radio – Art – New Music makes radio accessible as an artistic medium. Beginning with the characteristic polyphony of radio as a medium art and the fascination with the immateriality that marked the early years of radio broadcasting, the exhibition opens up surprising perspectives in radio art and its potential to create unexpected perspectives.

La lista de artistas, y demás personajes, presentes es muy larga, pero por nombrar unos cuantos: Antonin Artaud, Samuel Beckett, Walter Benjamin, Andreas Bick, Bertolt Brecht, John Cage, Peter Cusack, Tacita Dean, William Faulkner, FM Einheit, Tetsuo Furudate, Mauricio Kagel, Oskar Kokoschka, Thomas Köner, Bruno Maderna, Georges Perec, Dieter Roth, Walter Ruttmann, Asmus Tietchens, Wolf Vostell, Kurt Weill, etc.
