| ART EXHIBITION - thru May 15 | |||
|
Art Exhibition - Thru May 15 | M-Th 10aa - 4:00pm | FA100 "Another Run Along The Path or When Dada Meets I-Ching" The Artwork of Michael McCall - This exhibition is two fold: the work is based on the artist's study of and research into the I-Ching (a.k.a. The Book of Changes). It also explores Mysticism, Art History, Information Systems, Labyrinths and Mazes, combining these with McCall's acute sense of humor, in presenting a paridoxically calm and dizzying exhibition.
