Exhibition design for Beacon, Radius’ contribution to Sonic Arcade: Shaping Space with Sound at the Museum of Arts & Design in New York City.

The exhibition was an archival reflection of the previous 7 years of Radius, an experimental radio broadcast platform established in 2010 in Chicago, Illinois. Radius produces, exhibits, and distributes work by radio and transmission artists from around the world.

I designed a wall of photographs and print ephemera that surrounded Radius’ own beacon, the Audio Relay Unit, a mobile Low Power FM radio transmitter. Museum goers were also able to listen to the episode archive of Radius using FM radios and headphones that were incorporated into the exhibition design.
