KINsequences: A Sculpture That Wants to Get Made

Broadcast on Soundart Digital Community Radio and RADIA the European independent radio network

KINsequences: A Sculpture That Wants to Get Made is a co-created illustrated text by Molly Allam, Sovay Berriman, Alan Braidford, Tara C., Rachael Coward, Joanne Dorothea-Smith, Claire Gladstone, Clementine Neild, Frances Staniforth and myself, Tina Kutter. The work was built by each participant writing in response to the person that preceded them. It is both in the Surrealist tradition and a version of the parlour game known as ‘consequences’. Each writer sees only the previous participant’s contribution, with the whole being revealed at the end of the exercise. The text contains enough common threads to form a narrative arc but travels in unanticipated directions and represents a chorus of voices, both visually and through language.

There are three acts; Act I: A Sculpture That Wants To Get Made, Act II: The Making, and Act III: The Viewing.

Writers’ KIN meet regularly through CAMP, a member led support and professional development network for artists, curators, producers and arts writers living in Devon and Cornwall.

The group reading of KINsequences was produced by Shelley Hodgson at Soundart Radio.

Since 2005, the Radia network is an international informal network of community radio stations that promote art radio and contribute to intercultural exchange and artworks' and artists' circulation.
