Radio Art Zone

This book explores the central themes and techniques of artistmade radio, emerging from over 20 years of practice by a multitude of artists in the field. It brings to the page excerpts of long-form radio works from the worlds largest exhibition of radio art, Radio Art Zone, a joint project by the artist duo Mobile Radio (Sarah Washington & Knut Aufermann) and the Luxembourg community station Radio ARA, which was broadcast for 100 days as part of the programme of the European Capital of Culture Esch2022. Interspersed with newly commissioned works ranging from microessays and texts on radio form, practice and poetics, to radio plays and illustrations, it is full of unique images which allow the imagination to expand outward into radio space. Radio Art Zone performs an exquisite transformation from airwaves to paper, providing a treasury of ideas and reflections about radio as art.
