Between 1950 and 1995, Radio Free Europe (RFE) broadcast from a building at Oettingenstraße 67 in Munich. The artistic intervention in July 2025 addresses the ambivalence between the broadcaster's democratic claim and its propagandistic reality through a personal and spatial confrontation. In the auditorium of the extension building, a sound installation can be heard throughout the day on July 12 - a vector space of improvised singing that reacts to rare recordings of the RFE/RL signal, which was systematically jammed by the USSR. An accompanying publication containing archive material from the Czechoslovak radio series "Vzkazy domů" (Messages Home, 1951-1953), which has been translated into German, will be shown in the foyer.
