The 164-acre park at North Carolina Museum of Art’s Ann and Jim Goodnight Museum Park gains a few new occupants this spring, in the form of two enormous sculptures. Jaume Plensa’s "Awilda & Irma," a twofer, steel mesh set of heads, and Jaime Hayon’s interactive, rocket-like "SCULPT. C" were recently installed at the museum. On April 21, NCMA marks installations with the event Hoopla: Party in the Park.
The historic Hingene Castle (Kasteel d'Ursel) in Belgium is playing host to an exhibition of prolific international artists inspired by the 18th century, "SWEET 18." On view through July 5th, the exhibit takes a look at the period's influence on contemporary art through an immersive collection of painting, photography, sculpture, furniture and fashion design. Over fifty artists have works on display, including Erwin Olad, Wim Delvoye, Ray Caesar, Jaime Hayon, Nick Ervink, Hella Jongerius, Andreas Franke, and fashion designers such as Bernhard Willhelm and Yohji Yamamoto. Take a look at more of the images in the exhibition after the jump.
