ARTCOM,
MOLTEKEREI GALLERY, COLOGNE, GERMANY
22 JUNE 1986
IN
COLLABORATION WITH RADIO-FRANCE, FRANCE INTER, AND EMMANUEL DENNE
Unlike
their automobile-bound counterparts, the contestants in this off-road
rally race through virtual space … along telephone lines and
over radio waves. They compete with one another to reach the artist
by phone at the “finish line” in Cologne after first
having reached several other correspondents in various cities—the
different “stages” of the race—at numbers announced
on the radio or by the correspondents themselves. The rally is carried
live on a special program on France Inter radio that parodies the
suspense, pageantry, and colorful commentary of a real sportscast.
