Mark Orange - Selected Art Projects

Since 1995, I have produced a series of temporary audio pieces at sites including the Visitor’s Center to a 700-year-old Irish Castle; a contemporary architect’s office in Boston; and a 1920’s art-deco cinema in Glasgow, Scotland. The works are based around interviews with architects and play with the formats and conventions of radio documentary.

Typically, visitors to the space come across a small transistor radio that has the appearance of having been left behind by someone working within the building. Listening to the sounds, however, it becomes clear that the documentary is addressing the building in which the listener is standing.
