    About This Event

    The Haas Brothers, an American artist duo based in Los Angeles who work at the border of sculpture, furniture and object design, present Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City. The survey assembles sculptural projects that let functional forms slip into figurative presence and favors material invention over strict distinctions between art and use.

    About Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley

    At the Museum of Arts and Design, *Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley* surveys sculptural work by the Los Angeles duo whose practice sits between studio craft and industrial production. The exhibition centers on hybrid figures and unlikely surfaces, asking viewers to look closely at how materials are manipulated and how design language becomes character. In a New York context, MAD’s focus on craft makes the show read as a timely local case study in where contemporary sculpture now meets fabrication. One clear takeaway is how the work tests the limits of “functional” objects without abandoning them.
