The Haas Brothers, “Ferngully”
The duo known as The Haas Brothers will be opening an exhibition at The Bass, Miami Beach’s art museum which was recently renovated. This exposition is one that will show the connection between an artist and the natural environment.
Inspired by the 1992 animated film “Ferngully”, this exhibition will introduce visitors to a “utopic setting” composed by ceramics, beadwork, velvet and other blown-glass elements, turning the space of the exposition into something like a forest.
