Invited by Chiara Parisi, the Belgian sound collective ‘Building Transmissions’ will be presenting a series of live improvisational sound events and performances at
both the Istanbul and Venice Biennials. They will additionally be developing an online pod-cast radio project while traveling from Antwerp, to Istanbul, to Athens, to Venice and back to Antwerp again. This sound project will be based on field recordings and conversations collected on the road. It is initiated by Nico Dockx and Kris Delacourt.

In 2001, the Antwerp-born Dockx founded the ‘Building Transmissions’ collective with Kris Delacourt and Peter Werwimp, producing experimental audio-visual documents: on architecture, improvised live music situations and multi-media installations. His most recent exhibitions include ‘Utopia Stations’ at the 50th Venice Biennal Munich’s Haus der Kunst; ‘Monopolis’ at the Witte de Witt, Rotterdam (2005) and ‘Academy’ at the Mukha in Antwerp and Eindhoven’s Van Abbe Museum.
