Self-Haunted Opening Reception
Thursday, November 19, 2026
Free
Drawing from Huabi, a tale in the Chinese literary classic Liaozhai Zhiyi, Self-Haunted explores the shifting boundaries between image, desire, and surveillance. In the story a man is drawn into a celestial paradise painted on a wall. What first unfolds as a realm of desire slowly darkens into fear, as an armored official appears in search of an intruder. The painted world shifts with the movements of the mind, where desire and dread give shape to what seems real. Self-Haunted revisits the painted wall as both an image and a boundary, inviting entry while holding the power to expel. Across the exhibition, images beckon, linger, and quietly return our gaze. As enchantment gives way to scrutiny, the worlds we conjure begin to haunt us, shaping how we see and are seen.

MWM is proud to host one of the most exciting electronic post-punk bands of New York: WETWARE - Equally captivating and disorienting, Wetware is an unpredictable duo comprised of vocalist Roxy Farman and synthesist Matthew Morandi, also known for his work as Jahilyya Fields. A constantly shape-shifting, confrontational, trance-inducing band not to be missed. Highly recommended. With local support from: VALERIE MARTINO - Shedding her old moniker, UNICORN HARD ON, after the recent release of her 2nd LP. GOBBY - "I think his real name is Gobby... He's a real character." -Seth Manchester and BLUE SHIFT - Cybelle Collins' solo violin shred.
