Curatorial performance "U Can't Touch This"

A curatorial performance “U Can't Touch This” in Radiofonia radio station was a gonzo curating project, in which a fictive exhibition consisting of postminimalist abstract sculptures (in fact soft objects used to sound-proof the studio) was presented only in aural way by mixing sophisticated interpretations referring to art history and philosophy with ‘relevant’ popular music from 80s and 90s.

"U Can't Touch This" - the first audio-vernissage in Poland!

"(..) That's word because you know
U can't touch this
Break it down (...)"
Stanley Kirk Burrell

A pioneering gonzo exhibition in Radiofonia radio station! You can properly access it only in aural way! We mix contemporary postminimalism with products of paleo-intellectual  discourse of popular culture of the 80's and 90's. The audiosphere of the radio station's is influenced by site-specific objects commissioned by the curatorial team.

Curators-DJs: Aneta Rostkowska, Kuba Skoczek, Kuba Woynarowski.
