In his short career as an artist/designer, Jaime Hayon has evolved into a master of all trades, developing autonomous and applied projects across a range of disciplines–ceramics to wood, glass to textiles, product, furniture and interior design. having followed his practice over the past years, the Groninger Museum presents ‘funtastico’, the first major solo exhibition that surveys the spanish-born creative’s work–from his partnership with renowned crystal manufacturer baccarat, to his more absurd furniture concepts such as his ‘rockin’ hot dog’ (produced in collaboration with his partner Nienke Klunder as part of their ‘American Chateau’ series), to his large-scale ceramic installations which includes ‘the tournament‘, a life-size chess set that was commissioned by the London design festival, displayed in the british capital’s Trafalgar square in 2009. ‘funtastico’ also brings forth notable works by the artist such as ‘mediterranean digital baroque’ and ‘mon cirque’ which the cultural institution purchased in 2009, in addition to their newly acquired ‘green chicken’ functional sculpture.

Why sausages/hot dogs?

Why wouldn't I use sausages?  

It has great symbolism, a good form which looks like a smile, 

and it's meat! 

The big blown up silicon lips that women enhance themselves 
with remind me of ordinary fleshy sausages,

which led me to a whole set of studies of sausage women: 

portraits of sausage faced donut eyed ladies, handbag carrying and high-heel wearing sausage monsters, and Archimboldo inspired still-life portraits.  

When watching MTV, celebrities, and Italian TV, 

the link between women and ordinary meat is very easy to make.
