Nurse With Wound 1. Shipwreck Radio By Nurse With Wound's Steven Stapleton and Colin Potter Curated by Anne Hilde Neset and Rob Young for Lofoten International Art Festival Produced by Eivind Furnesvik and Kunst I Nordland A radio art intervention in Lofoten, Norway, June 2004 The string of islands off the northern coast of Norway, high up above the Arctic Circle, is better known for its dried cod and midnight sun than for sound art. Between May and July 2004, this changed as two of the UK's most respected, enigmatic sonic artists were marooned with the task of making a sonic record of their time on these unfamiliar islands. The airwaves were hijacked as their work in progress made interventions on the local radio station Lofotradioen 104.4 FM. The piece was eventually re-edited and made into two double NWW albums for release on Stapleton's label United Dairies, Shipwreck Radio Vol1 and Shipwreck Radio Vol2.
