Wave Farm Residency Program
Annual Application Deadline: February 1. Please subscribe Wave Farm email announcements to receive updates.

2021 General Information
In 2021, the Wave Farm Residency Program will provide artists with a valuable opportunity to consider new radio artworks and conduct research about the genre using the Wave Farm Study Center resource library. Applicants are asked to propose a selected radio art project, which they’re going to complete while in residence and premiere on Wave Farm’s full-power FM radio station: WGXC 90.7-FM Radio for Open Ears. Women and other people of color are encouraged to use .

Radio artists explore broadcast radio space through a richly polyphonous mixture of practices, including poetic resuscitations of conventional radio drama, documentary, interview and news formats; found and field sound compositions reframed by broadcast; performative inhabitations/embodiments of radio’s inherent qualities, like entropy, anonymity and interference; playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers, and therefore the potential feedback loops between hosts and layers of audience, from in-studio to listeners reception to callers-in; use of radio space to bridge widely dispersed voices (be they living or dead), subjects, environments and communities, or to migrate through them in ways in which wouldn’t be possible in real time and space; electroacoustic compositions with sounds primarily derived from gathering, generating and remixing radiophonic sources.

ELIGIBILITY
What can we mean by “radio art”? this is often a involve projects that conceptually and formally use radio as an inventive medium. The act of transmission and reception over terrestrial AM/FM airwaves is intentional and integral to the work. Proposals who use broadcast in commission to a different genre, or just as a way for distribution won’t be competitive.

Wave Farm’s Residency Program application is a world open call. Artists should make a compelling argument in support of their proposed project, and either possess a big body of past radio-based work, or demonstrate the technical aptitude and capacity to finish the project. Full-time students are ineligible; however, exceptions could also be made on a case-by-case basis for career artists who may have returned to high school for post-graduate work.

Review + Notification Process
Applications are going to be evaluated during a referee panel comprised of transmission artists, past residents, and Wave Farm staff. Finalists are going to be contacted for phone interviews, and notification are going to be made in March.
