Katonah Museum of Art: Constant Carnival
The Katonah Museum of Art’s new exhibition, Constant Carnival: The Haas Brothers in Context explores the work of contemporary artists Simon and Nikolai Haas within the art historical tradition of the carnivalesque. The exhibition is the first to pair the Haas Brothers’ sculptures and drawings with historical, modern, and contemporary masterworks within the festival of Carnival, or in modern times the Mardi Gras, tradition going back to medieval times.
The exhibition, which traces the history of the carnivalesque from the fifteenth century to the present, is loosely organized around two themes: The World Turned Upside Down and elebrating the Profane. Each section will put historical and contemporary works in conversation with each other and with the Haas Brothers’ designs. Other artists represented in the exhibition include Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dali, Joan Miró, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Kiki Smith.
