Irish Exit is a collaborative show featuring Bethany Hwang, Morgan Nash, Helena Starzec, and Suanna Zhong. After sharing an attic studio space during the summer, the four found a common interest in meditating on moments past. This show focuses on the emptied rooms, vacant scenes, and silhouettes of life. With the intention of drawing the viewer’s eyes to the presence of absence, Irish Exit is in memoriam of times gone by. We are lingering in the doorway before leaving without a proper goodbye.
