The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is proud to announce that AESOP (An Extended Song of Our People), the public art project and DJ booth has returned to provide commuters with another season of lively music as they pass through the 95th/Dan Ryan Red Line station. This year’s programming schedule now includes three days of real-time programming by multiple local disc jockey (DJ) artists. AESOP is an interactive public art installation created by world renowned artist and Chicago-based social innovator Theaster Gates, and is also the first known artist-designed and constructed broadcast studio/DJ booth in a transit facility. New this year will be the addition of other guest DJs performing, including Mr. Jaytoo and DJ Junius Paul. As in previous years, there will be live programming on Mondays (7-10 a.m.) and Fridays (3-6 p.m.), plus the addition of Wednesdays (3-6 p.m.). This season of music will run through Friday, November 1, except for Monday, September 2 (Labor Day). CTA’s collection of public art has nearly doubled over the last decade to include roughly 90 permanent works of art and dozens of temporary art installations across all eight rail lines and multiple bus facilities.
