Merry Go Zoo

The High Museum of Art continues its innovative multi-year initiative to animate its outdoor space with “Merry Go Zoo” (June 24 through Nov. 26, 2017), a new interactive installation by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon on The Woodruff Arts Center’s Carroll Slater Sifly Piazza.
Inspired to create a playful, 21st-century version of an outdoor public sculpture, Hayon designed four large-scale, vibrantly coloured, kinetic structures for “Merry Go Zoo.” The structures feature a round metal-and-wood base topped by an animal-shaped polyurethane sculpture. Visitors are able to interact with the structures either by spinning on the base or by rotating the sculpture. The installation transforms the piazza into a playground and summer refuge that offers a welcoming atmosphere for socialising and recreation. The installation will also become the stage for performances, art-making activities and special events co-organised with local partner institutions.
