DESCRIPTION:Neighborhood Public Radio recently completed its first 5 year plan, 
 dedicated to access in excess, and a critique of the limited public radio 
 options available in the United States. Since the first broadcast in 
 January of 2004, they have developed programming with communities around 
 the world, taught people to build their own transmitters, experimented very 
 publicly with transmission as an artistic medium in the Bay Area, and most 
 recently managed to bring the original critique of National Public Radio to 
 their board members and their airwaves. Some recent experiments have 
 included workshops on television transmitter building and circuit bending 
 with an ecological concern. After their success at the Whitney Biennial 
 they consider themselves at a crossroads. "Perhaps we need a new 5 year 
 plan. Perhaps we need a 1 year plan. Maybe we need a new directive. Maybe 
 we're done."  They will present their history and recent projects, and in 
 keeping to their collaborative process, they will ask the audience... What 
 next?\n\nNeighborhood Public Radio (NPR), founded 2004 by multimedia 
 artists and educators Lee Montgomery, Jon Brumit and Michael Trigilio, acts 
 as a traveling band of guerrilla broadcasters. NPR personnel have hosted 
 thematic broadcasts far and wide including in many galleries in San 
 Francisco, at Chicago's Version 5 Festival (2005) and San Jose's Zero1 
 Festival (2006) as well as projects in Europe.  One of these was in Serbia 
 where, funded by a grant from CEC Artslink, NPR worked with media 
 organization kuda.org. Enabled by a Creative Work Fund Grant, NPR 
 collaborated in a series of projects titled Radio Cartography in 
 partnership with San Francisco's Southern Exposure Gallery. Neighborhood 
 Public Radio has been named "Best Super Local Radio Station" by San 
 Francisco Magazine and has been featured in Punk Planet magazine, Artforum, 
 Women's Wear Daily, and the Chicago 
 Reader.\n\nhttp://www.neighborhoodpublicradio.org\n
