Calculated Error – Michael Hanna
2.2.2012 - 23.2.2012
Golden Thread Gallery presents Calculated Error, the first major solo exhibition by Michael Hanna. Over the past 3 months Hanna carried out a series of intentional mistakes, each carefully planned and budgeted in advance. Through a series of objects, photographs and texts, the exhibition documents these mistakes from the mistaken action to the repair. But, is ‘sorry’ ever enough? Are mistakes the ultimate learning tool? Is a problem ever fixed? Is a fix permanent? Is a fix perfect?
