With
the help of an independent FM radio station, the artist hijacks
one of the nation’s most listened to political talk shows—Europe
1’s weekly “Club de la presse”—via a simultaneous
radio broadcast on which journalists from the alternative political
news magazine TEL and special guests (e.g., politician Bernard Stasi,
writer Philippe Sollers, and advertising mogul Jacques Séguéla)
listen to and caustically dissect the Europe 1 program. The set
of the artist’s parasitical broadcast shares gallery space
a satirical installation, also created by the artist, featuring
a conference table surrounded by 10 television monitors all simultaneously
playing videotaped speeches by different heads of state.
