A day-long international symposium and radio event held by Conssoni in Tabakalera, Donostia. The context and broadcast platform provided by LaPublika consisted of a fifteen-hour public symposium, and continuous live web and international radio broadcast, exploring ‘the capacity of art to contribute to creating the public sphere […] by considering artistic projects as an example of the different possibilities in which art can be formalised to develop a critical gaze on reality’ (Consonni, 2016). LaPublika was a two year artistic research project directed and coordinated by Consonni. It was produced by Donostia / San Sebastián European Capital of Culture 2016, and Tabakalera International Center for Contemporary Culture; with the collaboration of the Faculty of Fine Arts (UPV/EHU), Azkuna Zentroa and Dabadaba.
During the morning of the symposium, for our performance of Grey line [Twilight], Mike and I called to Maki Nishida, Han Lu, Cauvery of PARA-SITE Art Space, Alison Simon and Kaori Imai to listen through their phones, to the sunsets of Nagoya (Japan), Shanghai (China), Hong Kong, Singapore and Kathmandu (Nepal).
