Outsiders: Joëlle Tuerlinckx & Christoph Fink

Kiosk Radio x Kanal

Audio
A handwritten sign in French on white paper reads: "PAUSE ! Retour dans 5 MINUTES !" It hangs in front of a drum kit in a music studio or performance space.

Kanal is not only a building a museum, but also a sound. Online community radio Kiosk proved the perfect partner to help broadcast it into Brussels and beyond. For the Outsiders series, once a month on Sunday mornings, Kanal invites over an artist for a one-hour set: a new composition, a mix, an interview.

The Antechambers of Culture #1 is a 60-minute journey through the sound archive of Belgian artists Christoph Fink and Joëlle Tuerlinkcx, spanning thousands of hours. A door opens, spaces are crossed, museums visited, artworks commented upon, doors close again on another day, another voice, yet another word… As in The Living Mirror by René Magritte, it is through a progression of galleries carved into the colour of sound that Fink and Tuerlinckx lead us here, toward words, and into the backstage of a work of art, into these antechambers of culture where, still in formation, it has not yet been domesticated or territorialised.
