SOUND INSTALLATION: KRISTIN OPPENHEIM Kristin Oppenheim, daughter of conceptual artist Dennis Oppenheimer, investigates sound and music as they relate to personal memories and experience. In Gallery I of the Center for the Arts, she presents a sound installation cited by New York Times art critic Roberta Smith for its "soothing, accumulating, almost hypnotic effect that heightens the act of perception." Oppenheim's recorded voice, repeating a soothing chant based on the chorus of Brian Wilson's song, "Sail On, Sailor," produces a provocative and intense sound sculpture that mesmerizes and enchants even as it disappears. The exhibit continues through Feb. 25. Notices ATTENTION: FACULTY EDITORS In effort to keep pace with new forms of journal publication, the University Libraries asks that faculty members from all departments who serve as journal editors or editorial board members send their names to: Barbara von Wahlde, University Libraries, Office of the Director, 432 Capen, Box 601625, Buffalo, N.Y. 14260-1625.
