John Giorno, born in 1936 in New York, performed live at the finnissage of the exhibition "Sounds. Radio - Art - New Music" in a setting by the artist Ugo Rondinone. Before a photographic work by Rondinone, Giorno read eight poems which originated during his dazzling career. Already in the 1950s, he became friends with artists such as Andy Warhol, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Robert Rauschenberg or Jasper Johns.

The exhibition project Sounds. Radio – Art – New Music makes radio accessible as an artistic medium, and makes it possible to experience it in a spatial context. Based on the polyvocality of radio art and a fascination with the disembodied character that shaped the early years of radio, the exhibition opens surprising perspectives on radio art and its potential to create complex experiential spaces.
