May 5 - 19, Michael Zwack will present his installation The Levitation of Anna in Room 207. The collection of objects in Zwack's installation contain what the artist describes as "...the symbols that entertain the romanticism of magic and heroes..." and pursue a sensibility where, in his own words, "...style gives way to content."
