The Haas Brothers

Twin Wins... Welcome back to SCADcast for season five of On Creativity with Paula Wallace! We re-launch just as SCAD begins deFINE ART 2021, an event that brings together an international roster of culture-defining arts leaders to engage with audiences in Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia, through curated experiences and encounters with thought-provoking work. The three-day event is open to the public, and many of its exhibitions are on view through the summer of 2021. Included in this year's star-studded lineup of contemporary artists are this episode's special guests, the Haas Brothers. Twin brothers Nikolai and Simon Haas are unstoppable forces in art and design. Their work transcends "rules" of what is functional and what must be displayed. The two create with playful whimsy and profound handcrafting skills. Through the plethora of joy brought about in their creations, they pronounce acute conversations on sexuality and identity. That's who the Haas brothers are, conversation masters through visuals as well as words. Today's conversation was recorded virtually with Paula Wallace zooming with the brothers from their deFINE ART exhibition "Beast in Show," a Seussian display on view at the SCAD Museum of Art now through July 3.
