黑料不打烊

The High Museum of Art will premiere a major multi-site exhibition of work by Brooklyn-based artist Brian Donnelly, a.k.a. KAWS on February 18, 2012, with a 22-foot-high, site-specific mural painted in the Margaretta Taylor Lobby of the High鈥檚 Wieland Pavilion, along with a 24-foot-long triptych hung in the Museum鈥檚 Robinson Atrium. In addition, a gallery installation of paintings, drawings and sculpture will feature a grid of 27 tondo paintings, each 40 inches in diameter. Visitors will be able to watch KAWS over the course of a week in early February as he creates the mural exclusively for the High.

The exhibition will also include KAWS鈥檚 monumental sculpture Companion (2010), which will be installed on the Museum鈥檚 piazza on November 18, 2011, in advance of the main exhibition opening in February.

KAWS: Down Time has been organized exclusively for the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, by the High鈥檚 Wieland Family Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Michael Rooks. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated exhibition catalogue and will coincide with a public program featuring KAWS and Michael Rooks in conversation at the Alliance Theatre.
