Hannah Greely (born 1979) is an American mixed media artist. She mainly creates site-specific sculptural works that seek to redefine the boundary between art and life. Her sculptures are colorful and often replicate ordinary objects or subjects, with subtle incongruencies in material or form. Her material experimentations lend the work an uncanny quality, as recognizable objects fade from real to fictional. Greely’s work explores open dialogue between object and environment, as well as the theatrical otherness of sculpture.
Hannah Greely has exhibited her work worldwide. Her first solo exhibition, “Fold”, took place in 2004, at the Andrea Rosen Gallery in New York. “Wild Corner” was shown in Bernier/Eliades, Athens, Greece in 2011. In 2005, group exhibition “Uncertain States of America”, held at the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo, Norway, toured to the Center of Curatorial Studies, Bard College, NY; the Serpentine Gallery, London, England; the Reykjavik Art Museum, Reykjavik, Iceland; the Herning Art Museum, Herning, Denmark; the Center for Contemporary Art Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland; and the Rudolphium Gallery, Prague, Czech Republic. Hannah Greely has participated in numerous group shows, two person, and solo shows. Her most recent exhibition was a group show titled “Daydreaming Pressed Against a Fence”, held at Harkawik gallery in Los Angeles in July 2023.
