UPCOMING: PUT YOUR PHONE ON (A CITY LINK) . . . for Maryanne Amacher (2010) As part of the Baltimore Contemporary Museum's PROJECT 20 series, celebrating their 20th Anniversary, Neighborhood Public Radio will host a coast-to-coast audio-project for broadcast. In homage to sound pioneer Maryanne Amacher, who passed away in October, NPR will re-imagine her seminal radio-locative sound project CITY LINKS (1967) as a community remix project to be aired locally in Baltimore, and streamed to Portable Radio Instruments for broadcast in San Diego, Chicago, and Albuquerque. Anyone can call 1-888-361-4NPR and HOLD YOUR PHONE IN THE AIR. This number connects to an answering service that will record whatever your phone picks up. We will collect these recordings every week and remix and process them for broadcast. We will also post the files on our website, inviting anyone to remix and reuse the recordings - - send them back to us - - and we'll air your versions also.

>>>Previously in San Diego (March - June 2008): In Spring 2008, the independent, guerilla radio project Neighborhood Public Radio will be hosting public broadcasts in San Diego and Tijuana. As part of our inclusion in the 2008 Whitney Biennial in New York, these San Diego/Tijuana broadcasts will be aired live in local neighborhoods, and also streamed over the internet to the Whitney Museum of Art. Working in collaboration with local community groups, artists, activists, and neighbors, NPR will support a platform to share a transgressive media practice.Neighborhood Public Radio has created several Portable Radio Instruments (PRIs) and is using them for broadcasts across the country for this Whitney Biennial event, called "AMERICAN LIFE." Multimedia artist and UCSD faculty Michael Trigilio is a co-founder of Neighborhood Public Radio and will be the principle organizer for the AMERICAN LIFE broadcasts in San Diego.

blog! ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC RADIO: Neighborhood Public Radio is an independent, artist-run radio project committed to providing an alternative media platform for artists, activists, musicians, and community members. Our motto: If it's in the neighborhood and it makes noise .. we hope to put it on the air. Neighborhood Public Radio has been named "Best Super Local Radio Station" by San Francisco magazine and we have been featured in Punk Planet magazine, Artforum, and the Chicago Reader. As a traveling band of guerilla broadcasters, folks from NPR have hosted thematic broadcasts far and wide, including both Artist's Television Access and Southern Exposure Gallery in San Francisco's Mission District, Chicago's Version 5 Festival, and a trip to collaborate with the neighborly media folks of kuda.org in Novi Sad, Serbia. In 2006/07 NPR was the recipient of a Creative Work Fund Grant which was used for a collaborative series of projects collectively titled Radio Cartography. The various experimental radio projects included Monthly Broadcasts, State of Mind Stations, Talking Homes, and Alternate Soundtrack Audio Tours. Radio Cartography was done in partnership with Southern Exposure gallery. |
