HYBYCOZO in No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man at the Renwick Gallery

WASHINGTON — HYBYCOZO was featured in No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man at the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery, on view from 30 March 2018 to 21 January 2019. The studio was the only artist in the exhibition with work both inside the gallery and outdoors in the surrounding Golden Triangle neighbourhood.

The exhibition brought large-scale work from the desert gathering to Washington for the first time, taking over the entire Renwick building and extending into the streets around it. Inside, three polyhedral sculptures filled an interior room, lit from within so the cut patterns carried across the walls and floor.

Outside, Golden Spike stood in the Golden Triangle as part of No Spectators: Beyond the Renwick, a collaboration between the museum and the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District. The work draws on Penrose tiling, a non-periodic pattern built from two shapes whose proportions approximate the golden ratio.

The Golden Triangle Business Improvement District acquired Golden Spike, and it stands at the Connecticut Avenue Overlook as part of the district's public art collection.
