WJEN Live! From Los Angeles, CA (Starring Jennifer Sullivan as herself, with Special Guests)
With Special Guests: Naomi Buckley, Aaron Garber-Maikovska, Julie Lequin, Kate Wolf and Brian Kennon
March 1st - March 29th, 2008, Raid Projects Los Angeles, CA
WJEN Radio Station Live! From Los Angeles, CA continues the saga of WJEN Radio Station, a burgeoning "freeform inspirational" station currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Extending the narrative of the ongoing "self-portrait as radio" persona that I had been exploring over the past two years. The exhibition took the form of a culturally and emotionally site-specific installation and live performance series. Drawing upon both the cliched connotations of Los Angeles and Hollywood as dream factory to the world and show biz epicenter, as well as the personal sense of hopefulness and aspiration that accompanied the realization of my first solo show, the plot line of WJEN Radio Station Live! imagined the WJEN persona having been invited to Los Angeles to tape pilot episodes of It's a Process, a TV talk and variety show version of the WJEN Radio franchise.
