The Radio Art Hour: Joan Schuman (Audio)

Jan 01, 2022
Produced by Wave Farm Radio Artist Fellows and Artistic Director Tom Roe.

Today we feature "The Dream Had Me" by Joan Schuman at Earlid. Peer through the peephole. Listen to sound art that meanders around the mingled zones of the awakened and wobbly, less-conscious states. "The Dream Had Me" is this year’s Liminal Sounds, an annual international collection of artistry at Earlid. As with its online gallery space, revel in a dozen short works with Earlid's curating host Joan Schuman. Featured artists include: Adriene Lilly , Blanc Sceol (Stephen Shiell + Hannah White), Diana Chester, Gabi Schaffner, Jeff Gburek, Joan Schuman, John Roach, Lou Barnell, Neil Verma, Sarah Washington, Timo Kahlen, and Ubu Kung. Listen … index finger to lips … shhh/shh … We have no earlids.

Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner, Jess Speer, and Andy Stuhl. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.
