PERFORMA Radio: Ryan Gander & Dexter Sinister
Specially commissioned by PERFORMA Radio, this collaborative radio work by British artist
Ryan Gander and New York-based collective
Dexter Sinister merges the script of a TV pilot with the form of a radio play. Interspersed with musical elements, 8 voices read from a script for a TV pilot written by the artists (and recently published as the book "Appendix Appendix"). A selection of
Gander's earlier sound works are also incorporated within the script to become part of the radio play. Continuing the path of one medium wandering into another -- a TV pilot into a radio play -- radio merges with physical space, and the live broadcast is complemented by a performative presentation with a live audience in real space, filled with old radios all tuned to WFMU.
Radios are provided courtesy of
free103point9 a nonprofit arts organization focused on establishing and cultivating the genre Transmission Arts by promoting artists who explore transmission mediums for creative expression.
