This Week @ AU

The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art is bringing a new type of exhibition to the community March 13-April 30. "Sound Mapping Alabama: A Journey through Alabama Navigated by Ear" is a designed compilation of recordings collected in Alabama by Rich Curtis. His outdoor sound piece will be embedded in the museum's South garden; the sounds will bring the visitor into the environment by using the sense of hearing that is often forgotten. Curtis, an Alabama native, has created projects in the United States, Canada, Kenya and the Netherlands. He teaches art at the University of North Alabama. Curtis will present a lecture titled "Alabama Mockingbird" at 5 p.m. Thursday, April 16. For more information, contact Colleen Bourdeau at cbourdeau@auburn.edu or 844-7075.
