Thursday 22nd November – Radio self-portrait by Anna Raimondo

What are we speaking about when we talk about radio self- portraits? What are its basic elements? Is it up to the artist and their intention – rather than the audience and their listening – to define it?

Visual art history defines an art-work as a self-portrait. However, in sound and radio art, as the tradition is still relatively young we are invited to question the genre of self-portraits.

The artist in the radio gives up their body and enters into a sound space where the listening re-gives volume to their presence, identity, desires and thoughts.

Join Anna for a selection of clips from generations of artists from Europe, Canada and Africa, ranging from soundscapes to the spoken word, from experimental radio shows to radiophonic music.

Thursday 8th November – In Conversation with Dave Pickering

Independent podcaster Dave Pickering presents a discussion of the “in conversation” podcast genre, focusing on what makes these conversations different from interviews that take place in mainstream media. He’ll play highlights from some of the best examples of these podcasts and include some extracts from his own conversation based show, Getting Better Acquainted.Dave’s work was nominated forthe Sony Best Internet Programme Award in 2009 and the Best Online Creator Award in the 2012 Radio Production Awards. GBA was recently featured on Helen and Olly’s Required Listening on Radio 5 Live.

Bring your best friend to the glasshouse! It’s always fun to see how they respond to recorded barks, and there will be plenty of those when In The Dark’s Connor Walsh presents an evening of dog tales told in sound.

The stories come from across the world, including some early Radiolab bootleg, some Australian dog psychology, and some sound treats for big floppy ears.

When: Thursday 20 September 2012
Where: Invisible Picture Palace, The Wapping Project, E1W 3SG
Tickets: £3 in advance, £4 on the door.

Thursday 23rd August: Little Waves of Indulgence with Connor Walsh

There’s a world of indulgent radio on shortwave – from international broadcasters with vague remits, hobbyists and pirates.

Former shortwave broadcaster and long-time listener Connor Walsh (In The Dark) presents some examples of what producers have been getting away with, and spills the beans from his experience working in shortwave radio stations from here to China and New Zealand.

Plus, we’ll have a shortwave radio on hand for you to explore with afterwards.

Thursday 26th July: A Found Sound Special With Mark Vernon

We haven’t even had our official launch and there is already a prize for “most poked” CDs in the shop. Anyone who’s been in has probably had a stroke of the little Scottish Tartan pocket and looked a little perplexed at the copper creation “Mort aux Vaches” (pictured).

But of course, this being an invisible picture palace, the objects are only a part of the story. For the adventurous souls who’ve had a listen to the CDs inside, there’s a world of  experimental audio collage, soundscapes and found sound  to be discovered, the work of Glasgow-based sound artist Mark Vernon.

And so it seems right and proper that on the 26th July at 7.30pm (our first event after the launch) Mark will join us to talk about his work and, in particular, the world of “Found Sound” – the discarded casettes and home recordings that can be found by anyone in junk shops, car boot sales (and, of course, the invisible picture palace).

Tickets: £4.00 or £5.00 on the door
Where: The Wapping Project Glasshouse
When: 26th July, 7.30pm
.

Thursday 16th August: The [Un]Observed

The [Un]Observed is an internationally recognized Radio Magazine of candid conversations and explorations, works in sound and produced pieces from around the world. Editor in Chief, TaniaKetenjian will be playing a selection of pieces from the site and talk about the project.
