Take You There Radio is a temporary radio project as exhibition streaming on the internet. Take You There Radio aims to transport participants and listeners to another place on an individual and shared level — a type of metaphysical travel that has occurred within audiences since the birth of radio as a popular media. The project takes place in collaboration with four artists-in-residence and with the participation of interlocutors from long and short distances who will premeditate and improvise radio interventions. The programming of Take You There Radio revolves around the core themes of space and time travel as experienced through altered states of consciousness, narratives of science fiction, utopian ideals, appropriation of socio-political topics by amateurs, investigation of sound in language and music, as well as radio station as a structure for predictable patterns with mysterious outcomes. Participants will create radio-specific art pieces in Grenoble using resources provided by the Take You There Radio curatorial team: a sound recording studio inhabiting the physical space of the Conciergerie, a resource center and listening room free to the public, and counseling from radio professionals as well as theorists from various fields. Along with the traditional radio schedule, improvisation will take place during the web stream broadcast in the form of prank phone calls, love letters, DJ sets, interviews, tutorials, and more. As part of the exhibition program, a series of workshops for local teenagers will be led by the curatorial team and invited instructors. Artists in residence: Antoine Boute, Dafna Maimon, Itziar Okariz and Simon Ripoll-Hurier.

Ever feel like you could just go somewhere else? With something more once you get there? Ever feel like no one is with you to experience things with you? Do you want a Tic Tac? Do you hear the tic tac? What languages do you speak? Do you know that I can understand French but I can’t speak it? What does that say about power and love? Can you feel your power? How’s it going with the long distance? Do you think I sound pretty? Do you want to set up a studio visit? Do you want to make me a mix tape? Have you heard Weather For The Blind? Do you believe in transcendence? Do you know what transcendence is? Do you want to transcend? Do you want to hear something you’ve never heard before? Do you think I have a beautiful voice, baby? Ever feel like where you are isn’t where you want to be? Do you want to be taken to another place? Do you want to be taken to another level? If you were a number what would you be? If you were a metal what would you be? Would you be copper? Would you be stolen from abandoned houses? Do you want to hear something? Do you think they have radio at the center of the earth? Do you think they have radio at the edge of the earth? Do you remember the Chilean Miners trapped for 69 days? Do you remember the Malaysian flight 370? Who was it who said something about There’s no there, there? Was it Gertrude Stein? Do you want to talk about Gertrude Stein? Do you know about her art collection? Do you know that she died in France? Do you like the French New Wave? Do you know that utopia comes from the roots — ou topos —which means no place — which is sort of equivalent to radio space? Do you think radio space is a place? Do you think it’s like whatever you want it to be? Is it the midnight hour? Do you want to come to utopia? Do you want to come to utopia with me? Do you want me to take you there?
