Marx FM

September 5 - 11, 2013, Rīga

The mobile pirate radio station Marx FM was located in the attic of a five-storey building in the very center of Rīga, the building of the annual exhibition of the Contemporary Art Center “Survival Kit”, and broadcast poetry readings at 104.8 MHz FM. The station operated simultaneously online.

The station continued for 7 days and was closed by the “Ether Police” - the “Electronic Communications Office of Latvia” – on an urgent request. Later, the “pirates” were sentenced to 150 lats, which the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art kindly helped to cover.
