WORLD SOUNDSCAPE PROJECT
BOURGES EXHIBITION 1980

In 1980, Barry Truax was invited by the International Festival of Electroacoustic Music in Bourges, France, to mount a retrospective exhibition about the activities of the World Soundscape Project. This exhibit ran during the 1980 Festival, May 24 to June 8. and consisted of a display of 15 panels (see below), display documents and small posters, plus two sound programs which played during the afternoons. The exhibit later toured to some other destinations.
