Opening Reception September 10 6–8PM

In horology, the escapement is the precision mechanism of a timepiece that mediates between two realms, the stored energy of the mainspring and its measured release into motion. It is the element that both permits and resists, translating raw potential into the measured cadence of a second hand or pendulum. Acting as a counterforce to unwound chaos, it creates the illusion of control and stability through a hidden process in dialogue with infinity.

Escapements brings together drawings by artists whose works navigate the space between opposing worlds, constructing psycho-social metaphors through gesture, mark-making, and image. The exhibition traces tensions between heaven and earth, presence and absence, freedom and constraint, and self and society—revealing the delicate mechanisms that mediate human experience.

Curated by 80WSE Curator Howie Chen.

Produced by Jon Huron.
