MULTIMEDIA INSTALLATION / EVENT
BABEL
PRESS CONFERENCE
GALERIE
CREATIS, PARIS
18–31 JANUARY 1983
With
the help of an independent FM radio station, the artist hijacks
one of the nation’s most listened to political talk
shows—Europe 1’s weekly “Club de la presse”—via
a simultaneous radio broadcast on which journalists from the
alternative political news magazine TEL and special guests
(e.g., politician Bernard Stasi, writer Philippe Sollers,
and advertising mogul Jacques Séguéla) listen
to and caustically dissect the Europe 1 program. The set of
the artist’s parasitical broadcast shares gallery space
a satirical installation, also created by the artist, featuring
a conference table surrounded by 10 television monitors all
simultaneously playing videotaped speeches by different heads
of state.
