More 24 Hours of Radio Art Evening shows

Wednesday January 17th 2007- 24 HOURS OF RADIO ART on CiTR
101.9

Every year, for some time now, CiTR radio in Vancouver, and a few
independent and college radio stations around the globe, have
worked to give modern art a transmitter. The concept of giving art
a birthday was introduced by French born artist / peacenik Robert
Filliou (associate of John Cage, by the way). In 1963, he asserted
that 1,000,000 years ago, there was no art. But one day, on the
17th of January to be precise, Art was born when someone dropped a
dry sponge into a bucket of water. Filliou had lofty ideas floating
around inside his skull about ?relative permanent creation?, an
exercise in inner peace to be directed outward and into world
peace. A continuing playful anarchy as a way of rejecting the
fascism of the square world; the world which refuses to break free
of conventional wisdom and the inevitable war it falls into again
and again.
