Rai Radio1 launches contemporary art show 'Te la do io l'arte'

Rai Radio1 has introduced a new contemporary art program titled 'Te la do io l'arte' as part of its 2019 schedule. Hosted by Nicolas Ballario, the show aims to make art accessible through audio, a medium that lacks visual support. Ballario emphasized the challenge of describing the contemporary art world without images. The program airs Sundays at 10:00 AM and repeats Wednesdays at 1:35 AM. It features an ironic yet in-depth narrative, covering topics such as the most extravagant museums, the most expensive photographs in history, and how to interpret contemporary art. Guests include Achille Bonito Oliva, Vittorio Sgarbi, Lorenzo Balbi, and Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, who share anecdotes about artists, cities, and key figures in the art system. The show also provides a weekly agenda with recommendations for exhibitions and art events. Episodes are available for streaming and free podcast download on Rai Play Radio. The program joins existing art-focused radio formats like A3 on Rai Radio 3. Additionally, Artribune offers newsletters and WhatsApp updates for art news.
