Art Monthly Show on Resonance FM, 13 August 2010
Mark Prince investigates art that uses language, and discusses the ways that narrative manifests itself in contemporary art.
Coline Milliard reports back from Falmouth Convention organised by Teresa Gleadow with University College Falmouth. Artists, critics and curators gathered to discuss whether a bid to host Manifesta in Cornwall in 2014 was viable, or even worthwhile. Faces around the debating table included writer Lucy Lippard, artist Tacita Dean, Director of the Banff Centre in Canada Kitty Scott, director of Grizedale arts Adam Sutherland and co-curator of Manifesta 8 Bassam El Baroni.
The debate quickly zoned in on the central question: are residencies worthwhile? Is the work produced on residencies likely to benefit the local community – who are, after all, stumping up the bill. Cornwall have been told that they would have to find a cool 3m euros is they want to host Manifesta in 2014.

Hooting Yard: Six Long Years Of Wittering ‘N’ Babble.
Those of you familiar with the important Hooting Yard Book o’ Days will know that precisely six years ago today, the very first episode of Hooting Yard On The Air was broadcast on ResonanceFM. I will be celebrating by drinking a flask of aerated lettucewater and sacrificing a (vegan, marzipan) goat.
Once upon a time, of course, radio shows were fugitive, ephemeral things, but today, with the wonders of podcasting, untold hours of Mr Key’s babbling remain available for you to download from the ResonanceFM archive. Apparently, thousands of people do, certainly more than ever read this blog.
This seems as good a time as any, then, to note that a new podcast maestro has taken over the reins, whose self-appointed task is to increase the frequency of releases. Past programmes have been issued as podcasts generally about once a fortnight, but the plan now is for them to appear twice a week, until the backlog is cleared.
For an insight into the tremendous technical challenges of the process, I refer you to this piece from the 2006 archives. Little has changed, save perhaps for the metal from which the maestro’s hat has been welded.
My thanks are due to the podcast maestro and his predecessors, and you can make their dedication to this noble cause worthwhile by subscribing, downloading, and listening, for so long and so often that Mr Key’s voice haunts your dreams. And please remember that the very existence of ResonanceFM is a fragile and rickety thing, and your donations to the station will help it to survive.

Hooting Yard: The Terrible Fate Of Mrs. Sludge, The Medium.
Thus the irascible chain-smoking coach took up lodgings at the edge of an ant farm, and spent hours upon hours every day drilling the ants in all sorts of sporty disciplines. So fantastic was his rapport with the tiny insects that they came to worship him as a god, one who wore a Homburg hat and spat out much phlegm. Their weird alien insect brains underwent some kind of Old Haloby modification, and he became their single, simple focus, their one and only, their world.
