CECILIA WEE RATIONAL REC SALON OR SEMINAR RESONANCE FM

Salon or Seminar

An arty radio version of the BBC programme Question Time for Resonance FM.

What is it?

Salon or Seminar is a series of cultural debates visiting different art venues in London in 2006 and 2007. It's like an arty radio version of the BBC programme Question Time. Each Salon or Seminar will centre around a theme (i.e. is media art really art?), with a panel of expert speakers and an audience who write in with a comment on the theme, turn up, and debate it. The theme of each event will relate to an exhibition at the venue or the nature of the venue itself.

These debates will be recorded for broadcast on Resonance FM, London's art radio station, www.resonancefm.com

What's the point?

The point of it is to bridge the gap between the formality of (academic) conferences and the deference of 'artist in conversation' talks. Everyone who attends is a participant - sending in a question or comment for the debate and getting involved.

How to attend

All Salon or Seminar participants must submit a question or comment for debate prior to the event via email or through the form on the 'contact me' page.
