Concurrent with “Merry Go Zoo,” the High presents “Technicolor,” an immersive installation in the Museum’s Anne Cox Chambers Wing featuring dramatic new works by Hayon that the Museum commissioned to grow its significant 21st century design collection. This is the first solo U.S. exhibition for the artist. Six large-scale tapestries, inspired by designs Hayon created for last summer’s “Tiovivo” piazza installation, hang from the ceiling.
Hayon worked with the renowned Tilburg Textile Museum’s Textiel Lab in the Netherlands to weave the vibrant works using a mix of traditional fibers and non-traditional materials, such as rubber. Pedestals on the floor display quirky, stacked ceramics with colorful, expressive designs Hayon hand-painted with colored glazes. All of these works showcase Hayon’s new explorations in color and technique.
