For a while now, Shana Hoehn has been amassing an archive of images; 17-19th century ship figureheads, 19th century photographs of the hysterics, 1930s-50s hood ornaments, female assistants in carnivals and magic shows, pin-ups, automatons, and visual documents of medical studies performed on women. In the exhibition, "Those Who Levitate," these femmes return. A series of images from Hoehn’s archive are printed onto textiles through alternative photographic processes; they will be accompanied by aluminum and bronze sculptures that reimage the objects and images from her image collection.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until July 28.
