Sending a Signal out in the Ether: Live on Radio Athènes #1
Kerstin Cmelka / If loving you is wrong, I don’t wanna be right…
Friday 14 October 2016
8pm at Radio Athènes
curated by Elena Tzotzi and organised in collaboration with Signal / Malmö, Sweden
Merging the intimate story-telling aspect of the voice on the radio with the performative quality of bodies sharing this same experience in space Sending a Signal out in the Ether: Live on Radio Athènes sets out on a meandering journey between art, music, dreams, desires, politics and life.
Artist and occasional radio-host Kerstin Cmelka will perform a live DJ set and radio broadcast, exploring female emotional desires and their attempts of expression in pop music.
Cmelka’s practice spans from her early experimental films through photographic reworkings of film stills, ad images, and production shots to her performances—known as “microdramas”—which act as reflexive commentaries on the poles of art and life by blurring the line dividing staging from reality. Her recent work is titled The Animals (2016) — an 81 min art feature film on the insular experience and work of the performer.
