SUMMARY:Artist Talk and Book Signing: The Haas Brothers 
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an artist talk by Simon and Nikolai Haas on the occ
 asion of their exhibition Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley. The brothers will
  be joined in conversation by Laura Mott\, Chief Curator\, Cranbrook Art M
 useum. Free with gallery admission\, seating is first-come\, first-served.
 \n\n2:30pm Book Signing\n\n3:00pm Artist Talk\n\nThe brothers’ materiall
 y rich work reveals a frenzied creative imagination combined with a right-
 brain inventiveness—a process they refer to as “problem-solving fantas
 ies.” Much of their art is a continuation of fictive characters\, fantas
 tic creatures\, and other-worldly realms often filtered through cultural r
 eferences and technological aesthetics of growing up in the 1990s and earl
 y aughts. Often irreverent and always meticulous\, their artworks explore 
 themes related to nature\, fantasy\, the subconscious\, and the human expe
 rience. Conceptually\, they embrace the surrealistic\, the animistic\, and
  the zoomorphic\, for instance\, to conjure alternative realms.   \n\nT
 he exhibition includes examples from the major bodies of work that the art
 ists have been engaged with over the last 15 years presented through strik
 ing vignettes that bring to life the Haas Brothers’ “worlds.” It wil
 l also show how these works and worlds are made by highlighting their proc
 esses\, material explorations\, and innovations.   \n\nThe Haas Brother
 s have exhibited their work widely throughout the United States and abroad
 . They have been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Nasher Sculpture C
 enter\; Katonah Museum of Art\; Bass Museum of Art\; Savannah College of A
 rt and Design Museum of Art\; and have been featured in numerous group exh
 ibitions. In 2019\, they were recipients of the YoungArts Foundation Ariso
 n Award. Their work is in the permanent collections of the Rhode Island Sc
 hool of Design Museum of Art\; the Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Muse
 um\; and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.   \n\n
