Dear all,

After a long, long… well, a very long break, we are back with more delight!

The issue #20 is all about the magic of urban space. We are very happy to feature three pieces from the InnerCity project by Noelia Santos, plus a selection of sound works by Raqs Media Collective, Daijuin Yao/Beijin Sound Unit, and ru*mor* (Rui Viana Pereira) created exclusively for the 2002 Invisible Cities sound installation project . Please read below for more information about the works and their creators.

We ask that you stay tuned, as NoCommercialValue will be getting a new look (hello, Web 2.0!) plus a series of shows to celebrate our FIRST ANNIVERSARY (yes – we’ve been around for a full year now, folks!). As always, your comments and suggestions are more than welcome. If you have an idea or a piece of work that you would like to exhibit at NCV, please write to us. And now, let’s look what we have for you today:

Dear Friends,

We are back after a short break. We hope you enjoyed our last show “Shared Spaces” curated by Natasha Chuk. It was up for two weeks and we received a lot of great comments. Thank you!

This week’s show is inspired by a new documentary called “The Delian Mode” by our friend Kara Blake. The film looks at the infamous music & sound design pioneer Delia Derbyshire.

Dear friends,

For this issue we decided to do an individual profile at NoCommercialValue. We are using three pieces to showcase the work of our friend Alexander Poll.  He is a young Cuban painter (and musician) currently living in Montreal. He paints mainly abstract landscapes and figures on oil. We hope you will enjoy discovering his work.

Dear Friends,

 Welcome to week 6 of nocommercialvalue.org . How time has flown by since we started six weeks ago! Many of you have asked us how can we keep putting up a show every week.
