Exhibitions

One way radio may become visible is in its expression as various types of art exhibits. To show the multiple approaches taken by artists involved with the medium, the festival features works installed in nine venues across Halle. At Radio Revolten Central in Rathausstraße 4 the exhibition “Das Grosse Rauschen: The Metamorphosis of Radio”, curated by Anna Friz, presents a selection of cutting edge transmission art installations over two floors. A short distance away at the City Museum is the companion exhibition “‘Invisible Waves’ – The history of broadcasting and the attempt at its appropriation in Halle (Saale)”, curated by Ralf Wendt, which will run until the end of the year. At other unusual settings in the city, site specific works will be accessible for the duration of the festival: the Botanical Garden, the Hausmann’s Towers and Red Tower of the market square, the former Zoological and former Physics Institutes, and at the Moritzburg Art Museum the seminal work of Joyce Hinterding “Aeriology” will remain on display until January 2017. In association with Radio Revolten, the Werkleitz festival will exhibit Friedrich Jürgenson’s Audioscopic Research Archive in the foyer of the German Federal Cultural Foundation in Halle.
