Escape from Studio Voltaire, the first solo exhibition in London by Mark Hutchinson. The project consists of two integral parts: an installation in the gallery and a free booklet, On Art & Claustrophobia. The installation consists of hundreds of drawings, chaotically laid out on tables, showing how one might escape from Studio Voltaire, if leaving by the door were to seem inadequate. The plans of escape range from the simple and practical (routes through neighbouring streets), to the elaborate and fanciful (escaping from the roof in a hot air balloon).
ESCAPE FROM STUDIO VOLTAIRE
The claustrophobic person is […] an amateur escape artist. He needs in order to physically survive, to be ingenius about his exits and entrances.
