Warper Party: Honey Child Coleman
AIR and the Clocktower Gallery present, The Warper Party Radio Extravaganza, a monthly series of "Controllerism" performances curated by Clocktower Audio Art Resident Julie Covello aka DJ Shakey and Michael Hatsis aka BangInclude and recorded for ARTonAIR.org.
One from the Warper Party Radio Extravaganza artist was Kentucky-born Mezzo-soprano avant-genre artist Carolyn “Honeychild" Coleman. Carolyn “Honeychild" Coleman has been described as "Fugazi meets Echobelly" and as "evoking images of Kate Bush and Sarah Vaughn battling it out in a mosh pit.” In 2010 Coleman was recruited by Ari Up (R.I.P.) to join The Slits as sole guitarist on their final European/UK Tour and was a featured artist in documentaries including Afropunk by James Spooner and Fireflies and Getting My Name Up There by Katharina Cibulka. Honeychild has recorded with Raz Mesinai's Badawi, Phylr, DJ Olive, Death Comet Crew, and many others. Her music has been featured in Robin Wright Penn's mystery thriller, Sorry Haters, the award winning independent film P.R, and the award-winning short film Pariah by Dee Rees. She has performed in France, Spain, Germany, Ireland, England, Denmark and Italy, and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Clocktower Exhibits & Events is home to an archive of interviews with artists, curators, musicians, organizers, and more who have participated in Clocktower exhibitions and events throughout our organization’s history.
Many of the below recordings were documented while Clocktower was in the midst of a transformation. The original name, The Clocktower Gallery, was given to the exhibition, residency, and performance space in TriBeCa, founded by alternative spaces movement pioneer Alanna Heiss in 1972. After 2001, the Clocktower Gallery re-inaugurated its exhibition programming in 2005 as part of MoMA/PS1 and, after 2008, under the auspices of Art International Radio. In 2013, we moved on from our downtown Manhattan location, and have since renamed the organization Clocktower Productions, a title which encompasses our radio, exhibition, and event programming.
For more Clocktower history, listen to The Clocktower Oral History Project, in which such figures as Vito Acconci, Bill Beirne, Colette, Jeffrey Deitch, Mary Heilmann, Jene Highstein, Ann Magnuson, Richard Nonas and Joel Shapiro reflect upon their experiences with this unique New York space. Organized by artist Nancy Hwang for the Fall 2009 AVANT-GUIDE TO NYC: Discovering Absence exhibition at apexart.
NB: Clocktower Radio was launched by MoMA/PS1 in 2004 as the Web's first art radio station. It has been independent since 2009 and is licensed to host content created under PS1 management.
