Levity: Selections Spring 2007 explores lightness as both a material and metaphoric condition in the work of fourteen emerging artists selected from the Viewing Program. Levity presents drawings made using a variety of methods and materials—including light itself—to investigate transparency, highlight a humorous view of mundane objects and situations, or compose whimsical and joyful imagery.
