Everybody is an Artist. You have got three Minutes: “Everybody is an artist“, this was Joseph Beuys’ famous postulate at the beginning of the 1970s. It was connected to ideas of a direct democracy and a social order, which understood itself as a “Gesamtkunstwerk”. Of course, all this remained utopian and became art history. However, since digitization and networks have been creating new forms of play, game, art and distribution, as for example podcasting, it’s really possible, that everybody can be an artist, can be a sender. In this sense, Bavarian Radio’s Department of Radiodrama and Media Art invites everybody to submit audio or audiovisual works for publication. There are guest curators from the artistic and cultural scene (Chris Dercon / Munich, Dan Fern / London, Sabine Breitsameter / Audiohyperspace and others), who will select the pieces and write a review about them. By now, the selection contains for example Jan Peters’ short video I am 41, Ingo Sasgens’ audioproduction Modus Ungewitter or Nele Müller’s Audioguide.

The selected productions are broadcast every Friday from 20.30 h on Bayern2Radio as part of the program “hör!spiel!art.mix”. They can alternatively be listened to - mobile and independent of a broadcast slot - on artmix.podcast galerie - Bayern2Radio.
