Wicker Park's Johalla Projects is presenting this show co-curated by Susana Horvatovicova and Anna Cerniglia.  Info from their site...


Immersioni/Immersions, an exhibition curated by Anna Cerniglia and Susanna Horvatovičova, is the third installment of an international collaboration between an American and an Italian curator.  While working together in Italy, these two women developed a three-part series of presentations that revolved around the concept of total captivation and the invasion of the imagination into real space.  Showcasing films and site specific installations, their previous exhibitions,Progetto Immersioni: Flusso di Coscienza/Project Immersions:Flux of Consciousness, were held this past winter at La Porta Blu Gallery in Rome.  Immersioni/Immersions marks the first occurrence of their partnership on US soil and the last unveiling in their venture.
