You might think that the idea for a radio show about haloes came from wandering around the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam & seeing lots of paintings of Jesus & other folks - like the one above, although that one is not in the Rijksmuseum - sporting all kinds of haloes. You would be mistaken.
The idea for this show came from a sketch or something comedic I was thinking about, about a "street artist" who wants to paint haloes on famous paintings, both in public & in museums. He wants to keep his identity a secret, & pretends it's a secret, but he tries to paint a halo on the Mona Lisa & gets arrested so everyone knows who he really is. The sketch idea went nowhere (like most of my ideas) but it did encourage me to do a show about haloes. & who knows? That street artist may even turn up on the show!
It happens midnight to 2am on KBOO - which is at 90.7fm on the dial in Portland, & all over the world online at kboo dot fm.
