If you enjoy being purposefully uncomfortable or experiencing induced claustrophobia, the Centre Gallery’s latest exhibit, Hyperventilate!, is right up your alley. Artist Jordi Williams uses yellow light and oppressive sound to “create an environment that addresses the illusionary nature of social fear.” The physical manifestation of social anxiety forces visitors to enter a room of whirring pinwheels, which they must carefully circumvent or step directly through. The superstimulation is intended as an interpretation of the feelings the socially anxious experience at a party. On display through Nov. 13. Visit ctr.usf.edu/gallery for more info. Centre Gallery, Marshall Center, USF Tampa, Tampa.

Arnold Swepson and Oliver Parson, the North Tampa Arts League’s featured artists of the month, offer an array of sculptures and paintings. Parson’s inspiration comes from the metaphorical symbols and African motifs he discovered on a trip to Nigeria some 30 years ago. Swepson’s paintings are likewise inspired by Africa, and depict the people and wildlife of Cape Verde.  On display through the month of November. Visit northtampaarts.com for more info. The Great Frame Up, 1646 Bruce B. Downs Blvd., Tampa.
