WINDOW EXHIBITION

The window exhibition is a tableau, making homage to radio as a performative and live- action. We reproduced an interview room.

​

Plants and, furniture hint towards the presence of interlocutors. We added a timeline in the background, as to give the viewer information on the archive we analysed, as well as a sense of the history and relevance of radio as a social and cultural vector.

​

The curtain, up-front evokes an intimacy one might find between an interviewer and his interviewee. It references this sensation one has when listening to the radio at home, in a car, this familiarity with the presenter. Radio is also a performance, and so the curtain also points towards a more theatrical understanding of closed during the podcasts and interview airing, such as to leave intimacy to the imagined interlocutors behind the window.

​

The display as you see it will not appear the same on all of these days it will be displayed. Instead, it will shift and evolve subtly in much the same way radio has over time.
