Press Release

Engaging, unconventional, and humorous, this creative duo is known for blurring the boundary between art, craft, and design, playfully mashing up the high-brow and the accessible. Featuring newly created, site-specific works in stone and glass, S. Car Go! marries the Haas Brothers’ latest forays into contemporary glass with their long-standing commitment to exquisitely carved stone. They note: “The humorous snail [serves, in this context,] as hero figure and champion of our studio’s devotion to craft.”

The Haas Brothers: S. Car, Go! was made possible by the Linnie E. Dalbeck Memorial Foundation, an Anonymous Donor, and the Palley Family. Additional funding was provided by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council; the Miami-Dade Mayor and Board of County Commissioners; the City of Coral Gables; the Cowles Charitable Trust; Beaux Arts Miami; the Lowe Advisory Council; and Lowe members. It was sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts.

About the Artist

The Haas Brothers are Los Angeles–founded, Austin-born twin artists whose collaborative practice moves fluently between sculpture, design, and contemporary art, best known for fantastical biomorphic creatures, irreverent furniture, and richly crafted environments. Working across cast bronze, porcelain, glass, wool, fur, and especially intricate beading, Nikolai and Simon Haas use humour, sensuality, and fantasy to probe themes of nature, sexuality, and the slippery line between fine art and functional design.
