Walter Klingenbeck Lecture
The Walter Klingenbeck Lecture by Prof. Ralf Homann (director, Experimental Radio Program at Bauhaus University, Weimar)
Department of Media Study, SUNY at Buffalo
Room 235
3:30 - 5 pm
The Bauhaus in Weimar is the first university in Germany that founded a Faculty of Media. A chair for Experimental Radio was established in 1999 and is the only one in Germany teaching radio in the context of the fine arts. This artistic practice is understood as an open field which supports interdisciplinary approaches, in the range from aesthetic operations, new technological developments and political activism.
Walter Klingenbeck was a 17 year old (Catholic) boy who founded an illegal radio station called 'Radio Rotterdam' in Munich during WWII. This radio station did never broadcast, but it did create a resistance group. Klingenbeck was discovered by the Gestapo and killed. |
