Description
On Translation: Açik Radyo is part of Muntadas' ongoing series of works and projects about communication, culture, and the role of art and the artist in contemporary life. This piece is the result of a two-year project created in the context of "Lives and Works in Istanbul," a program that invites artists from European countries to work in—and create works about—the city. Açik Radyo is an alternative, independent radio station that broadcasts throughout the metropolitan area of Istanbul.
Writes Muntadas: "Açik Radyo is a translation filter and interface between me and the city of Istanbul. With them we dialogued and interviewed in order to create four radio programs aiming at questioning and interrogating the representation of Istanbul."
