Radio Tave in Houston, Texas
As portals to other worlds, radio and television broadcasts have long maintained a prominent position in the public consciousness. Alien signals leaking into speakers or screens suffuse countless urban legends. ETNL Radio, one of the strangest stations on the air, seems to emanate from a nondescript warehouse in the Fifth Ward neighborhood of Houston, Texas, but adventurous listeners who follow it to the source will find a broadcast station like no other. Radio Tave is the fifth immersive art installation by the southwestern artist collective Meow Wolf. Like the rest of their work, Radio Tave incorporates and amalgamates work by over one hundred artists into what feels like a complete alternative world. Puzzles and implied mysteries form a framework narrative to guide guests through the experience. Alongside the enigmatic ETNL Radio broadcasting headquarters, Radio Tave includes a functional bar and grill called Cowboix Hevvven and a venue space for events that demand an alternate-timeline flair. In all, the 30,000-foot warehouse includes dozens of rooms with unique themes and layouts.
