David Ellis Studio presents a new Sound + Vision Laboratory to encapsulate the ideas of both an art production house and an Independent record label, called WRBC Productions. WRBC, World Riding Between Cars, is an acronym taken from the MTA safety label on the doors between every subway car, noting to travelers that passing from one to another while the train is in motion is prohibited. By replacing the word PROHIBITED with PRODUCTIONS we explore areas in art that are uncharted.
David Ellis Studio, drawing from a long history of art-making in the field of sound and motion-painting, forges WRBC, a project revolving around a traveling pirate radio station and art studio lab. It’s “left hand of the dial”, “listener-supported”, “public”, “college”-“non-commercial radio” in spirit, but it is also a platform to promote, produce, and share the ideas, music, stories, comedy, poetry, advice and wisdom of collaborators and artist friends who, all my life, have been unstoppable in the often under-rewarded life of making thoughtful and personal things to look at and listen too. The artist reimagines a mobile international pirate “radio” space station, as a new way to think about three-dimensions; making the invisible properties of audio, visible. By touring the roads less traveled and through a myriad of audio sound recordings, WRBC Productions brings unsung voices to the forefront, visually drawing out the extraordinary from the ordinary.
