The second exhibit in the Art in the Information Age series, Songlines, opens September 4 at Point.B Studio in Port Orford, Oregon. In traditional aboriginal culture, songlines are paths followed by a knowledgeable person (or "creator-spirit") who navigates the land by repeating the words of the song chanting the location of landmarks, waterholes, and other natural phenomena. Songlines highlights a contrapuntal chorus of artists who — like the aborigines, breathe life to unsung territories by composing the landscape through their art, marking a once hidden trail.
