Ilana Harris-Babou


Ilana Harris-Babou

Session 3 (2nd week): Saturday, June 26 - Friday, July 2

Ilana Harris-Babou’s work is interdisciplinary, spanning sculpture and installation, and grounded in video. Her work confronts the contradictions of the American Dream: the ever-unreliable notion that hard work will lead to upward mobility and economic freedom. She has exhibited throughout the United States and Europe, with solo exhibitions at 80WSE Gallery, the Museum of Arts and Design, and Larrie, New York. She has also exhibited at venues including Abrons Art Center, the Jewish Museum, SculptureCenter, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the de Young, San Francisco. She holds an MFA in New Genres from Columbia University and a BA from Yale University.
