Jaime Hayon: Serious Fun

Daelim Museum presents 《Jaime Hayon: Serious Fun》, a solo exhibition of the most influential creator and a visionary, Jaime Hayon, from April 27 to December 29, 2019. Through diverse mediums such as design, furniture, sculpture, sketches, and large-scale installations, the exhibition explores the artist’s unique and intriguing perspective of the world.

Throughout the seven sections in this exhibition, fantasies embedded in ordinary objects are unveiled and the design objects themselves come to life to tell their own bundles of interesting stories. With a guidance of 〈Green Chicken〉 the exhibition opens to the fantastical and whimsical world of Hayon.

In Jaime Hayon’s world, the objects have souls and forevermore speak to us through their own visual language. Through them, we are reminded of imaginary friends from childhood who once kept our side and spoke to our inner soul. Growing up and being submerged in reality perhaps we have forgotten our soul mates and inevitably neglected their stories. 《Jaime Hayon: Serious Fun》 recalls our imaginary friend, who has long waited to be remembered, and rekindles fantasy in our daily lives in bringing happiness and joy.
