Franconia Sculpture Park is pleased to present Centimeter, a solo exhibition by New York-based performance and installation artist Bryan Zanisnik. Opening July 9, 2022 in the Mardag Gallery at Franconia Commons, Centimeter explores architecture, space, decay, and time through site-specific installation. Zanisnik’s multidisciplinary practice uses objects en masse to explore American culture, Freudian psychology, and familiar relationships. Utilizing found and repurposed materials from Franconia Sculpture Park, Centimeter promises to be an immersive installation residing somewhere between the archeological and the arcane. Centimeter opens at Franconia Commons on Saturday, July 9, 2022 with a public reception with the artist from 4pm-6pm, and will run until September 11, 2022. Select prints from this exhibition are for sale; see prices here.
