S1 EP5: Eddie Peake - From listening to Kool FM to bringing them to the White Cube Gallery
Description
In this episode we have artist and avid Kool FM listener Eddie Peake. As an artist his work includes performance, video, photography, painting, sculpture and installation. Across many of his works he has included Kool London, most recently in his 2018 Show ‘Concrete Pitch’ at the White Cube Gallery where he actually had Kool London set up and broadcast a live stream. His love for Jungle and Kool FM runs deep and he also recently reissued Gappa G and Hypa Hyper’s Information Centre - which was a Kool FM classic - on his label Hymn.
The listeners were as important to pirate radio as anything else and we discuss the feedback loop between broadcaster and listener that went on to create the rich culture of Pirate Radio. It was fascinating hearing his ideas behind working with Kool and we delve a little deeper into his relationship with the aesthetics of Pirate Radio and how they subliminally help to inform his work.
