The Island | Wednesday 22 September | 12 to 5pm
Founded by curators Victoria Brooks and Andrew Bonacina, The Island is a non-profit curatorial agency, which functions as itinerant embassy for the visual arts. They develop curatorial projects, including exhibitions, new commissions and radio programmes, in dialogue with international counterparts and present projects across the UK and in international partner venues. For their slot on the airwaves The Island will present The Island Studio Dispatches, a five-hour broadcast with contributions by a group of artists currently based in the UK. The Island has invited artists to create five-minute ‘dispatches’ from their studios or space of work. These dispatches reflect what these artists are working on at this moment including thoughts, interests and topics of research taking various forms, from spoken word or music to collaged sound.

Caribic Residency | Thursday 23 September | 12 to 5pm
Caribic Residency is a two-day artist residency that was originally based in
Frankfurt and then moved to Hamburg in December 2009 where it is now housed in a large former tax office overlooking the docks and fishmarket of the Hamburger Hafen. Over the past two years, Dave Carbone and Jasmin Matthies have invited artists, philosophers, curators and others to spend two days with them. Open to the public on both evenings, each residency has taken individual forms depending on the artists and the guests. Usually informal and discursive, the Caribic has seen lectures, film screenings, exhibitions, performances, interventions, sounds, installations or a mixture of all.
‘Instant gratification’ is the result of the residency undertaken by Eric D. Clark; musician, performer, producer, song- writing extraordinaire on the 18th and 19th of December 2009. Clark spent the two day period at the Caribic recording for 48 hours. Surround microphones arranged throughout the space recorded at a distance the conversations, background music, movements and silences that occurred during the residency. This material was then edited into a shortened version. Described by Eric D. Clark as ‘a recording of a place in time, detached from its visual stimuli’, this sound piece will be played for the first time as part of RADIO IPS.
Caribic’s Radio programme’s aim is not to entertain, educate, or inform as is most commonly associated with the broadcasting medium but more an attempt to give an insight into the activities that occur at the Caribic Residency.
FormContent | Friday 24 September | 12 to 5pm
FormContent is a curatorial project space initiated in 2007 by Francesco Pedraglio, Caterina Riva and Pieternel Vermoortel in London’s East End. For RADIO IPS, FormContent presents a re-edited portion of HaVE A LoOk! Have a LOok!, an audio programme originally hosted at FormContent. It presents contributions from artists, writers, curators and musicians and ranges from live events to sessions where objects, voices, noises, stories and music coalesce. Amongst contributions is a new production entitled “Buoy Bell” by Fiona Banner.
Longmeg (Live) | Saturday 25 September | 12 to 5pm
The slightly incomprehensible ramblings of Long Meg, a band seemingly made up of eight people who met on the tube last night and haven’t made it home yet. Recent performances include, Tate Modern, Wysing Arts Festival, Kunsthaus Munich and Vilma Gold, London
