SOUNDSCAPES Begins Saturday, May 7 10 AM-5 PM (Tues.-Fri.) & 1-4 PM (Sat.-Sun.) @ Dubuque Museum of Art This exhibit is the winnowed result of artist Sara Lubinski’s years of experiences throughout the Blufflands, a record of her adventures, and the creative spirit inspired by the land. It gives evidence of the beauty and diversity of natural places and of special habitats preserved by individuals and by state and federal organizations. It celebrates land preserved, and brings attention to the need for us to take care of the land. The exhibit is accompanied by Shawn Decker’s electro-kinetic soundscapes, revealing the uncanny relationship between nature and the machine. Inspired by the dissonant and harsh sounds of avant-garde compositions of twentieth-century Futurism, the artist uses industrial materials to create music of the machine age. Regular museum admission rates apply. Visit DbqArt.com. 10  ❖  Julien’s Journal  ❖  May 2016
