Ilana Harris-Babou (b. 1991) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work spans sculpture and installation, and is grounded in video. She speaks the aspirational language of consumer culture, using humor as a means to digest painful realities. Harris-Babou has presented solo exhibitions of her work at Candice Madey Gallery, New York, NY (2023); Storefront for Art and Architecture, New York, NY (2023); The Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery, Wesleyan University (2023); and Artspace New Haven (2022).

München Monopoly was a group show of P.A.D. artists that took place in 2021 at Galerie Christine Mayer for Various Others in Munich Germany. From Broadway to Maximilianstraße, the international exchange dug deep into its community chest for a roster of P.A.D. tokens and the mortgaged deeds of expatriate friends. Come with your collected ‘Go’ money and be prepared to pay a ‘luxury tax’.
P.A.D. is an art exhibition space in historic SOHO (South of Houston) District in New York City. It reflects the bustling economy of artists making, selling and promoting their artworks on the street year-round, weather permitting. The aim of the space is to platform small and editioned works by artists that are interested in embracing new contexts for exhibiting.
