This book explores the central themes and techniques of
artist-made radio, emerging from over 20 years of practice
by a multitude of artists in the field. It brings to the
page excerpts of long-form radio works from the world's
largest exhibition of radio art, Radio Art Zone, a joint project
by the artist duo Mobile Radio (Sarah Washington &
Knut Aufermann) and the Luxembourg community station
Radio ARA, which was broadcast for 100 days as part of the
programme of the European Capital of Culture Esch2022.
Interspersed with newly commissioned works ranging
from micro-essays and texts on radio form, practice and
poetics, to radio plays and illustrations, it is full of unique
images which allow the imagination to expand outward
into radio space. Radio Art Zone performs an exquisite
transformation from airwaves to paper, providing a treasury
of ideas and reflections about radio as art.
