Interruption or mistake make one more aware: the gaze focuses on visuality of writing if a letter misses in a word, the ear hears silence when it’s interrupted by unexpected sounds. Long distance delays, radio echoes, remind of unrevealed, inexplicable, layers wrapping our orderly lifes.
In 1977, during Documenta 6, Joseph Beuys and Douglas Davis broadcasted live their performance via satellite for an international audience, addressing it directly in the end. With this in mind we extend this practice by broadcasting one of the live performances of Documenta 13 via (pirate) radio and addressing unknown number of anonymous audience.
The live radio broadcasting will take part 12 July, from 2 p.m. in Karsaue park (FM frequency @ ~106,5Mhz).
