Tune in this Saturday, February 14 at 3pm for the premiere of a new Wave Farm produced show: Radio Roaming.

Radio Roaming bounces across the electromagnetic spectrum, exploring the many possibilities of experimentation with sending and receiving. Produced by Wave Farm staff members, each episode features a selection of contemporary and/or historical radio and transmission art, with the aim of expanding the Wave Farm Radio Art and Transmission Art Archives.

Tomorrow’s broadcast features the work of Marjorie Van Halteren, and you can also catch a broadcast from her project EAPS (Electroacoustical Poetical Society) earlier in the day 12pm.

⚪️ Radio Roaming: Feelings on the Radio with Marjorie Van Halteren, Part 1 - “Hexagon Heart” (2019) by Marjorie Van Halteren

This episode of “Radio Roaming” - “Feelings on the Radio with Marjorie Van Halteren” - comes in two parts, presenting three works of Van Halteren’s and a brief interview with her recorded by Meredith Kooi. Together, these deeply personal and confessional works trace an arc of the breakdown, which might in fact be a breakthrough. 

In Part 1, we begin at the end of the arc with a brief conversation with Van Halteren and “Hexagon Heart” (2019), which was commissioned and first presented by radio art festival Radiophrenia in Glasgow. In this work, Van Halteren takes the listener through stories and moments of her struggle to belong, acclimate, and find her place in France where she expatriated in 1992. Also in this episode is a brief conversation with Van Halteren about the works.

In Part 2, we’ll go back to the beginning with “Breakdown and Back, Part 2” (1985) and “Unquiet Graves” (2004). 

This episode of “Radio Roaming” was curated by Meredith Kooi.
