Anna
Friz
For the past six years Anna has created self-reflexive radio works where
radio is the source, subject, and medium of the work. She was volunteer
coordinator and eventually programme coordinator for CiTR FM (1997-2000),
where, among other things, she curated 24 Hours of Radio Art for Art's
Birthday in 1999 and 2000 in conjunction with Front and Kunstradio events.
Anna has presented installation and solo performance works incorporating
low-watt FM transmission at the Western Front in Vancouver, Send + Receive
Festival in Winnipeg (2000, 2004), Tone Deaf Festival in Kingston, Studio
XX and the Société des arts technologiques in Montreal;
as well as at free103point9 gallery in Brooklyn, PS 122 in New York City,
the Third Coast Audio Festival in Chicago, Ars Electronica 2002 in Linz,
and at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin. She has produced numerous
original radio works for Kunstradio, Austria, for campus/community radio
stations across Canada and the U.S.; and for public radio in Canada, Austria,
Denmark and Mexico. Together with Annabelle Chvostek, Anna toured The
Automated Prayer Machine in winter 2004 to the Digitales festival, Brussels,
and Transmediale, Berlin; as well as venues in Rotterdam, Hamburg, Vienna
and Bratislava; Rad'a Gallery Montreal, Send+Receive Festival of Sound
in Winnipeg, and the Western Front.
Current projects include the touring NRRF Radio Roadshow together with
Montreal artists Chantal Dumas and Emmanuel Madan, and Anna is one of
a group of artists in residence for Reverie: Noise City at the Western
Front. |
