In our media-saturated lives, with everything being conveniently "on-demand and online forever," a Philadelphia gallery inaugurates a uniquely analog, aleatory media event. NEXUS/foundation for today's art has transformed its gallery space into a low-powered radio station for two months through February. The co-op gallery is gathering artists, musicians, performers, DJs, activists, poets, scholars, local community groups and other members of the public to use the radio broadcast in unusual ways during regular gallery hours, Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 6 p.m. Radio artists Joan Schuman (formerly of Philadelphia, currently in California) & Cambra Moniz-Edwards (currently in NYC) have been invited to co-curate an afternoon of radio artistry and dialog, Saturday, Jan. 17. From noon to 6 p.m., we'll examine the work of artists exploring radio in all its many facets. The set will include tracks off of free103point9's recent Radio Action III CD and introduction to the work of free103point9 artists and staff! By intentionally not providing an Internet stream for the exhibition/radio broadcast, a sense of urgency is reintroduced into the media landscape. A purely analog experience invites listeners in the surrounding area to tune in. The broadcast can only be heard in Philadelphia at 1650 AM in the Crane Arts Building neighborhood.

American Street [in the Crane Arts Building, two blocks north of Girard Avenue between 2nd and 3rd streets]
