Wave Farm is delighted to announce a fourth year of the Radio Art Fellowship. In 2022-2023 Wave Farm will host three separate three-month fellowships. This is a part-time engagement for a radio researcher and artist living and working in the United States. Each Wave Farm Radio Art Fellow will work closely with Wave Farm’s Executive Director, Galen Joseph-Hunter, and Artistic Director, Tom Roe. The Fellows will also have the opportunity to work with Mentors: Anna Friz, Joan Schuman, Neil Verma, and Gregory Whitehead.

Each Fellowship will combine remote work with one on-site visits to Wave Farm’s research library and radio studios.* Located in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley, Wave Farm is a nonprofit arts organization driven by experimentation with broadcast media and the airwaves. A pioneer of the Transmission Arts genre, Wave Farm programs provide access to transmission technologies and support artists and organizations that engage with media as an art form. Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM: Radio for Open Ears is a full-power, creative community radio station in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley. The WGXC program schedule features original content by over one-hundred volunteer programmers, and commits significant daytime listening hours to radio art and experimental sound.

*Details of the Wave Farm visit schedule will be determined in collaboration with the selected artist, with consideration given to any ongoing travel restrictions related to COVID-19.

A definition of Radio Art: Radio artists explore broadcast radio space through a richly polyphonous mix of practices, including poetic resuscitations of conventional radio drama, documentary, interview and news formats; found and field sound compositions reframed by broadcast; performative inhabitations/embodiments of radio’s inherent qualities, such as entropy, anonymity and interference; playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers, and the potential feedback loops between hosts and layers of audience, from in-studio to listeners at home to callers-in; use of radio space to bridge widely dispersed voices (be they living or dead), subjects, environments and communities, or to migrate through them in ways that would not be possible in real time and space; electroacoustic compositions, conceived of for transmission with sounds primarily derived from gathering, generating and remixing radiophonic sources. Note: Wave Farm continues to expand this definition of radio art through engagement with contemporary practices including those revealed by Wave Farm Artists-in-residence, and this Radio Art Fellowship program.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Month 1: Radio Art Listening, Research, and Archive Contributions

The first month of the fellowship is focused on additions to the Wave Farm Radio Art Archive. (See wavefarm.org/radio/archive) The archive is an online resource and a broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM. It 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 pirate transmission. During their first month, the fellow will have the opportunity for focused and supported research in order to identify five to ten additions to the archive. The Fellow will prepare audio with introductions and back announcements for broadcast, as well as written work descriptions, and artist biographies. Mentors will be available for consultation, leads, and feedback.

Month 2: Community Engagement

The fellow will design and lead a workshop (or listening session) with WGXC programmers and interested members of the public. Recent Fellowship community engagement examples include: "Radio Deprogramming" with Andy Stuhl and "Radio Intensive" featuring Jacki Apple and Keith Antar Mason, with Jess Speer.

Month 3: Radio Art Creation

The Fellow will create their own original radio artwork(s) for broadcast. Works will be included in Wave Farm's syndicated weekly program "The Radio Art Hour" which is syndicated nationally, as well as possibly included in Wave Farm's biannually contribution to the Radia network (see radia.fm).

Fellowship Benchmarks:

• Biweekly Meetings: with Wave Farm staff.
• Monthly Check-ins with Mentors for feedback on archive additions and the Fellow’s original radio artworks.
• Culminating Public Program: a live radio broadcast featuring the Fellow and mentors in conversation reflecting on works created and archive selections.

2022 Application

Eligibility: The Radio Art Fellowship program opportunity is open to individuals whose primary residence is in the United States. (Note: applications from collaborative teams are not eligible.) The Fellowship stipend will appear as “Other Income” on 1099s issued in conjunction with tax years 2022 and 2023, depending on the dates of engagement. Women, gender non-conforming people, and people of color are encouraged to apply.

Wave Farm’s Radio Art Fellowship is made possible, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature; the National Endowment for the Arts; the Greene County Legislature through the County Initiative Program, administered in Greene County by CREATE.

Inspired by data that links radiation emissions from cell towers and 5G technology to the spectrum of biological and behavioral side effects experienced by honeybees, Honeybees & EMF Radiation: Intraspecific Transmissions Beyond The Hive is informed by processes of converting EMF radiation into sound waves. At Wave Farm, Mwalimu-Banks and Cutler will capture radiation waves from local bee hives using a number of electronic measurement devices and transmute these libraries of sound into broadcast material for collaborative sound installations. The work seeks to create opportunities for education on the impact of EMF radiation within the Upper Hudson Valley landscape, while reflecting on how the bodies and complex communication systems of honeybees mirror our own. Through a series of daily field recordings, Mwalimu-Banks and Cutler will explore practices of deep listening, to both the activity of honeybees inside the hive, and the reverberation of sound transmissions within the ecology of their field of resonance. Listening to the fluctuations in vibroacoustics caused by EMF radiation, may offer insight into the consequences of living in an increasingly 5G-centered world. By generating this archive of materials, Mwalimu-Banks and Cutler aim to create psychic maps for interactive dialogue with honeybees and their transmissions on sovereignty, accountability, community, and sustainability.

Desiree Mwalimu-Banks is a Zambian-born, East-Coast raised, artist, writer, curator, educator, diviner, and mother, whose work explores somatic relationships between indigenous identity, water ecologies, apiary culture, and the ecstatic, within the framework of the sacred feminine and the African diaspora. Mwalimu-Banks pursues the electrical synapses that link human cosmic origins to constellations of blackness, by excavating cultural memory as artifact. She creates sound and video installations which reimagine the frequencies and landscapes of the archetypal feminine and its relationship to self-actualization. Mwalimu-Banks has partnered with individuals and communities in re-visioning embodied collaborations with the natural world including Movement Research, Stanford University, Naropa University, CUNY, the Manhattanville Purchase College Interfaith Studies Department, and The Caribbean Cultural Center. Her works can be seen in digital and print-based publications, including Heart & Soul, Sensheant, and teenvogue.com. Her article: “Nectar of the Divine Feminine: The Ancient Bee Mothers of the Anahata Chakra” was included in Olive Whiteman's recent anthology publication, Harmony In Chakras. desireemwalimubankscosmitransmissions.com

Composer and sound-artist Grant Cutler works toward the creation of an erotics-of-listening through an interdisciplinary exploration of acoustic phenomenon. Based in Brooklyn, New York Cutler creates music and sound for a variety of installations, films, and performances. His work has been featured by the Guggenheim’s CPA commission series, the Baryshnikov Art Center, The Walker Art Center, NPR, Pitchfork, BBC, and many others. His award-winning scores have been exhibited at film festivals world-wide including Tribeca, Ashland Independent, and Paris International. Cutler’s interest in the phenomenology of sound continues to drive his creative pursuits while his field-recording practice feeds a profoundly personal relationship to listening. grantcutler.com

Each Fellowship will combine remote work with one on-site visits to Wave Farm’s research library and radio studios.* Located in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley, Wave Farm is a nonprofit arts organization driven by experimentation with broadcast media and the airwaves. A pioneer of the Transmission Arts genre, Wave Farm programs provide access to transmission technologies and support artists and organizations that engage with media as an art form. Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM: Radio for Open Ears is a full-power, creative community radio station in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley. The WGXC program schedule features original content by over one-hundred volunteer programmers, and commits significant daytime listening hours to radio art and experimental sound.

*Details of the Wave Farm visit schedule will be determined in collaboration with the selected artist, with consideration given to any ongoing travel restrictions related to COVID-19.

A definition of Radio Art: Radio artists explore broadcast radio space through a richly polyphonous mix of practices, including poetic resuscitations of conventional radio drama, documentary, interview and news formats; found and field sound compositions reframed by broadcast; performative inhabitations/embodiments of radio’s inherent qualities, such as entropy, anonymity and interference; playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers, and the potential feedback loops between hosts and layers of audience, from in-studio to listeners at home to callers-in; use of radio space to bridge widely dispersed voices (be they living or dead), subjects, environments and communities, or to migrate through them in ways that would not be possible in real time and space; electroacoustic compositions, conceived of for transmission with sounds primarily derived from gathering, generating and remixing radiophonic sources. Note: Wave Farm continues to expand this definition of radio art through engagement with contemporary practices including those revealed by Wave Farm Artists-in-residence, and this Radio Art Fellowship program.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Month 1: Radio Art Listening, Research, and Archive Contributions

The first month of the fellowship is focused on additions to the Wave Farm Radio Art Archive. (See wavefarm.org/radio/archive) The archive is an online resource and a broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM. It 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 pirate transmission. During their first month, the fellow will have the opportunity for focused and supported research in order to identify five to ten additions to the archive. The Fellow will prepare audio with introductions and back announcements for broadcast, as well as written work descriptions, and artist biographies. Mentors will be available for consultation, leads, and feedback.

Month 2: Community Engagement

The fellow will design and lead a workshop (or listening session) with WGXC programmers and interested members of the public. Recent Fellowship community engagement examples include: "Radio Deprogramming" with Andy Stuhl and "Radio Intensive" featuring Jacki Apple and Keith Antar Mason, with Jess Speer.

Month 3: Radio Art Creation

The Fellow will create their own original radio artwork(s) for broadcast. Works will be included in Wave Farm's syndicated weekly program "The Radio Art Hour" which is syndicated nationally, as well as possibly included in Wave Farm's biannually contribution to the Radia network (see radia.fm).

Fellowship Benchmarks:

• Biweekly Meetings: with Wave Farm staff.
• Monthly Check-ins with Mentors for feedback on archive additions and the Fellow’s original radio artworks.
• Culminating Public Program: a live radio broadcast featuring the Fellow and mentors in conversation reflecting on works created and archive selections.
