IRFP Presents bri: air vol I

BRI: air cover

The Berwick started out as a fun place to have art shows and noise shows. Then the Inspectional Services shut it down as a venue, so the focus shifted to an artist residency program. The resident artists didn't have to come up with a final project, but they had to write a report about what they did at the end of their term.

The Berwick got funding from the LEF foundation to produce a book documenting the Artist-in-Research program, and in the end I became the production whip and co-editor. It was really exciting to be involved in a publishing a book!

bri: air vol I features research reports written by the first 8 resident artists, as well as 8 interviews or critical pieces about their work. My favorite parts are by my friends, like John Osorio-Buck's article about his pirate radio station, Christy Georg's article about hearing and vibration, and Dave Webber's article about his noise robots. But the most fun I had with the book was talking with Bill Arning about my piece Red Sky at Night — that interview's in there too!

I don't have any extra copies but you can order it from the Berwick via their web site — and it may even be tax deductible!
