Radioartejump: from Broadcasting to 'Narrowcasting’

As part of the international working conference ALMOST REAL, the European Cultural Foundation offers an interdisciplinary masterclass, directed by the Italian artist Federico Fusi.
The masterclass is open to an international group of 25 emerging artists and other professionals in the cultural field who share a commitment to innovative artistic strategies and social transformation. It is the perfect opportunity to explore issues of art and social change, expand your creative practice, and meet like-minded participants from around the world.

Federico Fusi is widely regarded as a significant artist whose work ranges from a figurative sculptural approach with Christian references to complex mixed-media installations and site-specific or participatory projects. The fresh, uninhibited approach to communication of his R.A.M. (RadioArteMobile) project represents an extraordinary challenge to conventional norms of art-making. Using a simple van and a radio transmitter, R.A.M. toured much of Europe until it reached the 2003 Venice Biennale.

For the ALMOST REAL masterclass, Fusi proposes a shift away from the idea of broadcasting to explore 'narrowcasting’. Radioartejump’s approach to programming and artistic creation will be driven by the need to reach a small and specific community rather than a mass audience.

Masterclass participants will work collaboratively, drawing on their varied interests and skills. They will come face-to-face with the actual local environment of Utrecht, meet invited guests, and reflect on vital human questions through focused discussion and research.

In practical terms, the work involves establishing a temporary radio station at the Centraal Museum Utrecht; operating an internet/radio programme with its own FM-frequency and radio web; and, most importantly, creating sound-, voice- and language-based contributions for daily broadcast in a public space.
This English-language masterclass is for all sorts of artists and culture professionals who are interested in the idea of 'narrowcasting’. A specific background in media or technology is not required.

'Radioartejump’ lasts from Sunday 29 February to Thursday 11 March. The 12-day masterclass is directly followed by the ALMOST REAL working conference (until Sunday March 14), which participants will also attend and where the results of the masterclass will be presented.
