new publication The Museum of Broadcasting und Loneliness

Declan Clarke's new publication The Museum of Broadcasting und Loneliness will be presented as part of the finissage of his exhibition The Last Broadcast.

At the heart of Declan Clarke's exhibition The Last Broadcast is his new film What Are the Wild Waves Saying? Both the film and the installation make intense reference to the role of broadcasting in times of conflict, as it played it through the dissemination of political propaganda, particularly during World War II and the subsequent Cold War. It tells a multi-layered and complex story of transition and transmission, of media influence, of surprising connections and certain historical parallels between a divided Ireland and an equally divided Germany, including the associated history of disinformation and espionage.

It will also be one of the last occasions to see Gill Gatfield's ALTER EGO including the VR-sculpture Native Tongue XR on the public green between Rosa-Luxemburg-/Almstadtstr. and The Muses in our Foyer.
