I’ve really got to recommend Coastlines: Images of Land and Sea, the newest exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Art. This is not just a stand-there-and-glaze-over kind of exhibit. The artwork itself is stunning (don’t miss Yasuo Kuniyoshi’s Bather with Cigarette), but there’s a bonus. The museum worked with the University of Texas at Dallas to create a sound installation that accompanies the exhibit. What this means for visitors: look for the circles on the floor in front of certain works of art. Then look up. See that clock-sized shower head looking thingy hanging from the ceiling? It’s a hyper directional speaker. You have to stand on the circle of carpet underneath it in order to hear the sound that’s coming out of it. Step off the circle and the music goes away. They call them “local soundscapes.” I just call it neat-o, and it seems like kids would like this, too.
