MAXXI
September 29 - November 15, 2015

Consortium Instabile will debut at the MAXXI in Rome within the framework of  The Independent_Food.

Radio Instabile's first transmissions, developed in collaboration with Tiziano Bonini and Ilaria Gadenz, are being broadcasted via headphones at the museum. Alongside this daily broadcast a two-day public forum, whose themes range from ancient seeds as commons to the forms of intersection between agricultural and artistic practices, will be transmitted live from the MAXXI on radiopapesse.org (October 3-4, 2015). These radio sessions will be soon after available as a further contribution to the audio archive open to the exhibition's visitors.
