Some of the pieces will take up to 15 square feet on the fl oor, while others will hang down from the ceiling. Visitors will be able to move around the pieces and view them from different points. “I hope they visitors can transcend a sense of the physical world we live in,” Levy said. “It’s one of those things that you have to come and see.” Boissonnet’s works have been shown in exhibitions throughout the world and feature drawings, photography, sculpture, holography, video and digital imagery. Opening night for “Uncertain Worlds” will be from 6 to 10 p.m. and feature music from Astoria musician Jeanne Marie Boes. The exhibit will be on view Fridays and Saturdays from 2 to 6 p.m., or by appointment until May 3. For more info on the show or the Holocenter visit www.holocenter.org.
