*Ràdio Web MACBA most listened podcasts - February 2020* 1/ Anton Kats: <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-305-anton-kats>“I realized that what I did since leaving Ukraine is in itself a practice. It’s not like this is just a kind of a backbone on behalf of which I’m doing something else. No, this is actually the work. All these negotiations, networks, conversations and experiences… good and bad. This in itself is actually the work.”
Process, liminality, mediation, transmission, radio, resonance, orality, archive, and abundance. In our coinciding and crossing of paths with Ukrainian artist, mediator, educator, and musician Anton Kats (b. 1983, Kherson, Ukraine) <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-305-anton-kats>, “the stars aligned” to put prior learning and formats to the test. Three remote encounters, six hours of recording, and several red-hot scissors have produced this exquisite corpse in which we explore a discourse and practice that tend to spill over and exceed boundaries in both nuance and detail. Anton Kats is pure process, discipline, energy, and empathy.

In this podcast, we talk with Céline Gillain <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-304-celine-gillain> at lenght about her incursion into the music industry, stage fright, the power of fragility and depression as a form of resistance today. Paradoxically, her current media of choice are a mix of pop songs, motivational speeches, and updated fictions from the entertainment world, which run through everyday life in a darkly humorous, inimitable way.

That is the crook of the matter". In this podcast, Professor Oyèwùmi <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-303-oyeronke-oyewumi> talks about age, seniority, and respect, about unscrupulousness and academia, dispossession and spirituality. She considers the oxymoron of the notion of “single mother” from the point of view of Yoruba culture, and she also notes how observance of community practices from non-Western cultures may be an unnecessary step as we face the planetary challenges to come.

The PROBES AUXILIARIES <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/buscador/radio/etiquetas/probes-auxiliaries-10018> dig deeper into the main programme topic but are also programmed for your ecstatic listening pleasure; so examples here are edited and sequenced and cut together on the wheels of steal; there’s no talking either (at least not by me), so you need to download the playlist to get the details, backstory and relevance of each of the pieces featured. This time we’re sending you a snapshot of a variety of integrated musical incorporations of car horns, auto-parts, doorbells, scrap metal, asphalt, foghorns and power tools, in the worlds of rock, pop, contemporary music, jazz and film scores.

Ese resentimiento, esa rabia, ese cabreo, ese dolor, son los que permiten que exista una memoria. Pensar el resentimiento resulta fundamental.” (only available in Spanish) <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/altars-sugar-and-ashes-2-anti-racism-and-anti-colonial-resistance-perspective-people> In this podcast, we talk to Diego Falconí Travez, Lucía Piedra Galarraga and Karo Moret about slavery and love, the Caribbeanization of identities, and violence as a potential resource. They discuss affects, phobias, autophagies, and unsettling objects. And they examine the Latino world in relation to the mask of gay culture, coming out of the closet as a liberal promise, and resent(i)ment as a circular form that prevents memory from disappearing. <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/altars-sugar-and-ashes-2-anti-racism-and-anti-colonial-resistance-perspective-people> Link: <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/altars-sugar-and-ashes-2-anti-racism-and-anti-colonial-resistance-perspective-people> https://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/altars-sugar-and-ashes-2-anti-racism-and-anti-colonial-resistance-perspective-people *E/N/J/O/Y !!!*
