The seminar derives from the proposition that any given activity of the everyday can become a useful method from which to learn how to work and live together. You are invited to become part of a live radio show (Radio Narrowcast) as part of a seminar chaired by Paul Halliday with the participation of Rosemarie Chung and Anton Kats. The Clore Auditorium is transformed into an open Radio Studio in order to collaboratively introduce and develop diverse methodologies of art practice, research and pedagogy. The seminar opens up to questions around form and content driven by the motivation to be practically useful to the practitioners involved in it at a given place and time. The participants are encouraged to bring a radio receiver.
