This station depends on contributions from listeners.
WPS1 Art Radio is the Internet station of P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, a MoMA affiliate, featuring an MP3 stream of music, talk, and historical recordings and a free on-demand archive of over 1200 programs.
Sound and Vision hopes that the blindness of radio and the muteness of artworks can be productively joined when artists play the music they care about. Host artist/writer and occasional musician
David Humphrey
will invite different artist guests to select material for each show with the faith that their playlists will reflect the vitality of their practice.
