The injunction to avoid gazing in the mouths of horses is among the most enduring and popular clichés, and yet doing so would certainly have saved the ancient Trojans a good bit of grief. Gift Horse: Inside New York Art, a new, weekly podcast series will look deeply into the arts to find unique voices and perverse visions in New York City and beyond.   Our guests will include a wide range of artists from the past and present: actors, directors, musicians, painters, photographers, curators, impresarios, and writers.

Gift Horsewill be broadcast weekly by RADIO INICIATYVA (http://i-radio.in/), an independent Ukrainian internet radio station produced by the Dzyga Art Association of Lviv beginning on October 8, 2014. RADIO INICIATYVA (i-radio) will foster cultural exchange through arts programs originating in Ukraine, Italy, Serbia, Poland, and the United States. It is a revival of one of the first Ukrainian radio station to focus on “alternative culture.”
