KAWS invades Atlanta's High Museum with Down Time

KAWS's "Silent City" triptych being installed at the High Museum of Art

KAWS appears to have "Down Time," or — at least — that's the name of his upcoming exhibit at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, GA. This exclusive show is a multi-site installation, including a 22-foot-tall mural painted in the Margaretta Taylor Lobby of the High’s Wieland Pavilion and a 24-foot-long triptych, entitled "Silent City," in the Museum’s Robinson Atrium. The event will also feature a grid of 27 round paintings, a group of KAWS toys, drawings, and a collaboration between the artist and British photographer David Sims. KAWS's sculpture "Companion" was installed in the Museum's piazza last year in preparation for this show.

"Down Time" opens to the public on February 18th and will run through May 20th at the High Museum of Art, 1280 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta, GA 30309. http://www.high.org/
