[english]

protest, protest. in eastern europe. in western europe. different places, different reasons. meeting in one hour. and sharing the format: radio art.

in the first part of the show, irena pivka and brane zorman from radioCona introduce us to protest in slovenia:

During the closing months of 2012, Slovenia has seen a series of mass popular protests. Thirty thousand demonstrators gathered on November 17 for the first protest, organised by trade unions, students, and organisations of retired people and artists. Dozens of protests followed, large?and small, taking place in virtually all of the urban settlements of Slovenia, often organized spontaneously through Facebook and other social media." [R.C.]

A show by radioCona Temporary Project Radio For Contemporary Arts. Art project radioCona (by Irena Pivka, Brane Zorman) first broadcasted on january 1st, 2008. Till present nine FM and internet broadcasts with series of sound art, radio art, discursive projects, thematic discussions and lectures were produced. radioCona appeared and exhibited in Modern Gallery Ljubljana, City Gallery Ljubljana, transmediale.11, RAM LIVE, among others.

afterwards, we return for another time to the stratford shopping centre – with a show by martin williams, who also chose radio art as a form(at) of protest:

"Stratford Shopping Centre. I go there every day. It’s unmissable. Not because of the magnetic pull of Percy Ingle’s cheese and onion pasties or the many bargains to be found in the 99p Shop. And not because the place itself is distinctive or eccentric in any particularly appealing way. If anything it’s an unremarkable small shopping mall, with its chain stores and discount shops, bright lights and the sonics of a crowded swimming pool. It’s unmissable — for me and thousands of others — simply because it is the only way to get from Stratford town itself to the very busy tube and rail station there. In a feat of hubristic urban planning the shopping centre sits in the middle of a teeming ring road and is the only route from one side to the other. I’m funnelled through this dystopian high street every day, and respond with a conflicting mix of feelings about the place. So this programme is both paean and protest, a tribute with its tongue in its cheek." [M.W.]
