Subcity Presents - Mark Vernon
Mark Vernon is a Glasgow based artist who explores concepts of audio archaeology, magnetic memory and nostalgia through his sound works. At the core of his practice lies a fascination with the intimacy of the radio voice, environmental sound, obsolete media and the reappropriation of found recordings.
A keen advocate of radio as an art form, he co-runs and curates Glasgow’s art radio station, @radiophreniaglasgow. He was a founding member of Glasgow’s Radio Tuesday collective and went on to set up several other RSL art radio projects in the UK including Hair Waves, Efford FM and Nowhere Island Radio.
We were very excited to have Mark in the studio with us for a special instalment of ‘Subcity Presents’, where we immersed ourselves in some of his original work and chatted about sound art, radio, and the inevitability of death.
