iHappy: Painting + Sculpture Right Now

EXHIBITION DATES: 02/28/26 - 03/28/26

World’s Fair Gallery + Apartment 13 are delighted to present iHappy: Painting + Sculpture Right Now. The show feautures new work by Arne Asaumi, Joshua Boulos, Baijun Chen, Maxime Belykh, Garrett Davis, Brittni Ann Harvey, Harry Gould Harvey IV, Dan Talbot, Fiona Walther and Lindsay Weitzman with a vessel pairing by Eva Goodman and Natalie Squillante.

On the occasion of iHappy, World's Fair Gallery stages a refusal. In a culture that packages happiness as a product and sells identity back to us as a lifestyle, iHappy cuts through the gloss of contemporary canned life. Comfort is no longer assumed; It is questioned, tested and rebuilt. The exhibition features artists pushing against commercial ease and emotional automation, insisting instead on absolute life living. Their works hold tension between sincerity and confrontation, warmth and abrasion. Rather than offering escapism, iHappy offers presence. What does it means to feel something ‘real’ inside systems designed to smooth everything over? iHappy considers the gallery as lived space, a place where artwork, glassware and furnishings circulate as tools for charm, insight and survival.
