Apparently there's been some sort of real estate cooperation between the two organizations since 2000, but the Coop has only been able to get a lease on a month-by-month basis. When the change was initially brought up, apparently the plan was to divvy up the space and leave the Coop's collection where it was - but since then, Art International Radio has decided that they absolutely omg can't live without having the entire space to themselves.
The first article I linked to makes it sound like they want to actually produce art for online broadcast in that space. It also quotes Heiss saying things that piss me off, like "“When [the Coop] moves, it should move very carefully.” Uhm, duh. That's why it's going to be so damn expensive and potentially kill the Coop altogether. And she's talking about having hope for future collaborations...seems damned unlikely to me.
