The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA) announces LIGHT-SOUND INTERSECTIONS, Structure and Movement in Space and Time, to be held at MOCA GA Midtown from December 1, 2006 - January 6, 2007. LIGHT-SOUND INTERSECTIONS is an exhibition curated by Atlanta musician and composer, Dick Robinson. Using electroacoustic music that he composed from the 1970's to the present, Robinson has created a soundtrack to accompany an exhibition of artwork that he has selected from MOCA GA's permanent collection. The opening reception, featuring a concert of Robinson's most recent music (composed since 2005) will be on Friday, December 1, 2006 from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. A second reception with concert is scheduled for Wednesday, December 13. Both performances are free to members, $5 for non-members.

One of the first composers to adopt the Kyma environment in his work, Robinson studied electronic music with Bob Moog and Hugh LeCain and founded the Atlanta Electronic Music Center in 1965. Robinson is also a professional violinist, having played with the Atlanta Symphony for 36 years before retiring in 1987 to devote his full time to composition. MOCA GA Midtown is located at 1447 Peachtree Street, two blocks north of the High Museum of Art. Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. until 5 p.m and admission is free.
