Since 2010, Anna Bromley has been inviting artists, activists and cultural researchers into the radio studio to explore language and voice together, in the context of sound, politics and everyday life. What began as an artists’ radio research format has developed over the years into a series of exhibition pieces focusing on radio and its visible and invisible transmission bodies. Publishing a selection of her radiophonic essays here for the first time, I Speak Radio reflects Bromley’s collaborative radio practice. The publication also provides insight into the corresponding exhibition formats of these projects, including cooperations with a large number of artists, activists, radio makers and theorists. An index of images and texts on Bromley’s other artistic works is inserted into the book.

Verrat muss furchtlos vor möglicher Rache sein und große Geheimnisse lieben, weil sie am schönsten und kunstvollsten ver- raten werden können. Wenn aber nun keine mehr verfügbar, nämlich schon verraten sind? eine Mediengesellschaft des aufge- speicherten – lässigen oder listigen – Verrats ahmt die gesetz- lichen Auskunftspflichten, Überwachungen, Evaluationszwänge nach. Kalkuliert ist der schwindende Mut in einer kapitalistischen Ordnung, der alltäglichen, unterwürfigen Verrat an sich selbst zur Pflicht gemacht hat wie ‚Loyalität’ in jedem beliebigen Abhän- gigkeitsverhältnis. Uns bleibt nur mehr, in letzter Anstrengung der verbrecherischen Tugend, den Verrat um seiner selbst willen zu begehen! es heißt den Wahnsinn, die extreme Gewalt eines Verrats, das Schöpferische zu wählen! Katalog zum thealit Laboratorium "Was ist Verrat?", Forschungsprojekte, Ausstellung, Symposium, Oktober 2010–Februar 2011
