Board of Directors Marina Abramović Lawton W. Fitt Alanna Heiss Sanford Krieger Maria Rosa Sandretto Rufus Wainwright David Weinstein Profile AIR, Art International Radio is a non-profit Internet radio station, art gallery, free online cultural archive and media arts center. Producing over 500 new radio shows annually, AIR features a diverse range of programming from audio art to interviews and from music to spoken word and radio theater. AIR's Clocktower Gallery is host to a number of exhibitions, artist residencies and residency programs each year. AIR’s archive also features historic recordings including audio from the Poetry Society of America as well as exhibitions and public programs from the Museum of Modern Art. With projects such as Living History and The Clocktower Oral History Project, the AIR Audio Archives continues its reputation as a unique cultural resource, educational tool, and historic anthology of audio recordings. Our website, www.ARTonAIR.org, provides open and universal access to our programs and archives with information and links for every audio recording. Through shared resources, conferences, discussions, outreach, and collaborative projects, AIR is committed to engaging and supporting the arts community both in New York City and around the world. AIR’s galleries and project studios host series of artist exhibitions, workshops, community events, and radio productions. Currently, audio and visual works by artists Tony Oursler, Todd Eberle, Mary Heilmann and Sabina Streeter are on view. AIR was formed in 2009 by Founder and former Director of P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Alanna Heiss, as a continuation and reimagining of Art Radio WPS1.org, the Internet radio station operated by P.S.1. WPS1.org amassed over 2,000 hours of art talk, music and cultural programs during its 5 years of operation. This extensive archive was transferred to AIR, and we continuously add to and diversify this collection. AIR continues to develop new and better ways to promote the arts through cultural programming. We are rebuilding our Website in order to engage listeners with easier access to our numerous programs and new ways to listen to content, including Podcasts, playlists, and user-generated selections. We have designed an iPhone application and a Podcast page available online and in the iTunes store, making our programming even more portable and accessible.
