Upon resent research, I came upon Frank O’Hara’s poem Radio, how apt:
“Radio” by Frank O’Hara: with genius annotation.

My namesake, Alice, turns 150.
Like Alice in Wonderland, a year ago I too ventured to a mystical place. In my case, it was from New York City to Barcelona and I landed in a world where eat me cakes and drink me potions come in the form of jamón and cava.
Admittedly, I am always looking for connections no matter the form, particularly connections between people and variations of their movement through the world. Alice in Wonderland popularized my name, here I celebrate her storybook journey now 150 years old.
With this first post as a signal to my beginning NYC Arts Radio again after a year long hiatus due to my own rabbit hole (my studio), I declare my realigned objectives which include producing this podcast. Unlike Alice, I am mindful which path I take, and there I head with force, love, and happiness as the only mapped out route in my dress pocket.

In addition to my visual art vocation, www.allisonmalinsky.com, I am the writer, host and producer of NYC Arts Radio, www.nycartsradio.com. – – – – – – – – –
