Sib Radio Gowanus

Sib (Sounds-in-between) Radio Gowanus is a narrowcast audio exhibit that will run in conjunction with the exhibition Postcards from Gowanus. The program will host a series of sonic artworks ranging from field recordings, drones, micro-sound to ambient and electro-acoustic compositions by US and International artists, including works by the participants of the Postcards from Gowanus exhibition. Sib Radio Gowanus essentially bridges the space between the inaudible, invisible (and yet real) ethereal and the physically present exhibits inside the gallery.

Sib Radio Gowanus is curated by Maria Papadomanolaki and is sponsored by free103point9. Technical Adviser and Support: Jeremy D. Slater. Sib logo by Sofia Kokkinis. Many thanks to all the artists who generously submitted materials for this project.
