About this exposition

re- radio is an artistic research PhD project about relationality in radio articulated through three durational artworks: SkottegatenFM (2021), a three-month mini-FM radio station based in my apartment and neighborhood; Radio Multe (2021-ongoing), an experimental city-wide AM, FM and online radio station with an accompanying shadow station and Seijo & her Soul (2024), a nine-evening performance installation in an art exhibition space. The project situates the artworks in the contexts of mini-FM and community radio practices, radio art, theories of relationality, relational aesthetics and dialogical aesthetics. I chart the move from broad questions, such as what is relationality? What is community? What is communication? to more specific realizations: that the radio station as an artistic form can foster an immersive, collective subjectivity that supports many forms of unlearning and learning with and that on-air conversation can be an artistic material. By shifting attention from senders and receivers to the spaces between them, on-air conversation as co-creation contributes to a relational ethics. re- radio also contributes to the field of artistic research regarding relational methodologies and the politics of knowledge.
