Rose Art Museum: "Hugh Hayden: Homework" on Thursday at 11 AM
About this event
Join us for a docent-led visit of
"HUGH HAYDEN: HOMEWORK"
Rose Art Museum
Brandeis University
Thursday, January 30 at 11 AM
Hugh Hayden, an American sculptor, has established himself as a leading artist of his generation. Hugh Hayden: Home Work, the artist’s first solo exhibition in New England, surveys Hayden’s extensive body of work over the last decade, including a bold, site-responsive installation newly conceived for the Rose Art Museum. Home Work focuses on the artist’s exploration of the “American Dream,” its pathways, and architecture.
Known for sculptures inspired by regional craft-based furniture and objects, Hayden’s work evokes aspects of African American identity and ways in which history and stereotypes pervade American culture today. Divided into five sections—“The Uncanny Home,” “Soul Food,” “Skeletons in the Closet,” “Playing the Field,” and “Class Distinction”—Hugh Hayden: Home Work exposes and confronts the realization that discomfort—and even danger—often lurk within the confines of our most intimate spaces.
