WPS1 Art Radio on the Internet

Check out http://www.wps1.org/

WPS1 Art Radio will be broadcasting on the Internet starting at 9:00am
April 19 and continuing around the clock.
Some of the "highliights" they claim for future programming include:
* Richard Prince dreams of a big penis,
* Charlie Ahearn visits the great hip-hop DJs,
* Walter Abish recalls his Chinese exile,
* Chuck Close discovers South Beach,
* Matthew Sharpe talks drugs and Jews,
* Pat Steir finds romance in dirty blues,
* SalmanRushdie returns to form,
* and Henry Geldzahler simply returns!

Their mission statement is (taken from the site):
"P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center announces the launch of WPS1
(www.wps1.org), the world's first internet art radio station.
Sponsored by Bloomberg L.P., WPS1 provides an extraordinary lineup of
music and talk shows broadcasting 24 hours a day.

"The station's programs combine talk and music shows hosted by
contemporary writers, artists and musicians with rare historic
material that includes the entire audio archive of the Museum of
Modern Art. WPS1 will stream to listeners on the Internet only. Its
presence on the Web will make the station's unique digital library
available to an international audience at any hour, seven days a week.
As such, WPS1will become a live audio museum in cyberspace, extending
the visual art, book, music, film, video and performance programs that
P.S.1 and MoMA are known for in ways previously unforeseen. Here, at
www.wps1.org, is the first all-art, all-the-time radio station, where
expression of all kinds remains truly free."

WPS1 is a project of the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, an affiliate
of the Museum of Modern Art.
