Kitty Corner is the name of an artist community founded by Johannes Kubin and Marianne Lang. For several years they have been working together as a team, although both of them pursue independent positions. Their work concentrates on the same topics, which are either related to their own private life or playing with urban identity and social phenomena. So far, they organized lots of participatory projects, most of them in private context, but also in public space.
Radio Convoy
Project, Intervention in public space
Artists: Johannes Kubin & Marianne Lang (Kitty Corner)
Radio Convoy is an acoustic experiment, initiated by Johannes Kubin and Marianne Lang.
A pirate radio station will transmit artistic audio recordings of ten to twenty artists (most of them from fine arts) via radio. The whole setting is mobile, which means not only the pirate station will travel through Vienna but moreover the whole audience will try to track the station, in order not to lose the signal. The audience will be invited by e-mail or via facebook, they meet the pirate bus with their cars in the 2nd district of Vienna, then they drive in a convoy, not knowing the route and the final destination. During the whole show the audience can influence the route by mobile/telephone voting, so that there is a possibility of creating exciting situations or unplanned stopovers caused by the votes (e.g. drive-in, one ways, gas stations, change of driver – there is also the possibility to change cars or car members – and hitchhikers).
The radio show is a compound of artistic recordings, music, live-acts and melodized performances, which will take place in the car or at places on the route. There will be a DJ for the background music and a moderator, who will moderate or take care of the feedback and comments received from the participants. There will be no censorship on the shows and audio tracks, the artists are fee to choose their topics and content. With the performance, Radio Convoy likes to pose questions on the media “pirate radio” itself: What options does a subversive media like a pirate radio station offer? Where does this acoustic excursion lead to? Is the convoy a militant metaphor for „My car is my castle“? Where does the road-trip lead to?
The diverse artistic positions span from topics such as urbanism, radio as media, mobility, artistic identity to medial cliches in contemporary arts.
