Tour: Mnemonic Devices with Rachel Jones and David Webber
Join artists Rachel Jones and David Webber for a tour of their current two-person exhibition Mnemonic Devices: Rachel Jones and David Webber.

The New Orleans-based Jones has exhibited her work locally at The Front, as well as in New York and Austria. Webber is Assistant Professor of Media Art at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and has exhibited his work in numerous international film festivals.
