Jeff Kolar (b. Chicago, Illinois, US) is a composer, sound and media artist, and curator. He is the Founder and Artistic Director of Radius., an experimental radio broadcast platform established in 2010. His work, described as “wonderfully strange” (John Corbett) and “characteristically curious” (Marc Weidenbaum), activates sound in unconventional, temporary, and ephemeral ways using appropriation and remix as a critical practice. His solo and collaborative projects, installations, and public performances often investigate the mundane sonic nuances of everyday electronic devices. He has ongoing collaborations with Anna Friz, Jennifer Monson, Zeena Parkins, jonCates, and NRRF Radio Collective.
His work has been exhibited internationally at the Smithsonian Museum, Museum of Arts and Design, CTM Festival for Adventurous Music, Radio Revolten Radio Art Festival, and reviewed in The New York Times, The Wire Magazine, Red Bull Music Academy, and more.
