How to be an Escape Artist
HANA

@bombinatr4x_______

Sep 29 - Oct 10, 2026

Gallery 2

MFA thesis exhibition

This installation explores escapism as resistance to property, and art as an exercise of free will. The artist uses scores, found materials, and the body to document their attempts to find autonomy.

“Like our bodies and like our desires, the machines we have devised are possessed of a heart which is slowly reduced to embers.”

— W.G. Sebald

Opening receptions: Melissa Campbell; HANA; Will Imlay

Monday, Sep 28, 5:30pm Monday, Sep 28, 7:00pm
