A series of collectively executed interviews broadcast on Montez Press Radio and co-presented with The Kitchen that invites guests to engage experimental legacies and histories of 'avant-garde' production, work, labor, thought and collaboration across decades within and beyond The Kitchen’s community.
Conducted by Alex Waterman, Archivist, The Kitchen, Stacy Skolnik and Thomas Laprade of Montez Press Radio and select members of The Kitchen’s Curatorial team, the series proposes an act of translation beyond the “archival” document to engage in dialogues with artists, audiences, and researchers who have produced and supported experimental work. These conversations expand and care for the life of primary source(s), keeping them active and vital actors in the continuum shared between The Kitchen’s ongoing productions and its archive.
This radio series is organized as part of The Kitchen x Montez Press Radio's 12-month Residency.
