Verstärkung (Amplification)
Release and Streaming
The commissioned, newly produced work by HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark will not only fill the main space of the institution on August 20/21, but will be published on Montez Press Radio, New York and thus broadcast beyond the architectural boundaries of the institution.
Montez Press Radio is an experimental broadcasting platform and community for artists, writers, and thinkers to engage in intimate dialogue that interrupts established channels of communication, cultivates emerging and underrepresented voices, and creates space for transformation. Founded in 2018 with the goal of fostering greater experimentation and conversation through the medium of radio, this platform allows different corners of the art world to interact with each other in person and on air — a place where media finally meets flesh. All in-studio broadcasts are free and open to the public.
