In the Round: HYD

dollop presents HYD at ICA.

Critically acclaimed artist HYD creates dynamic, seductive pop that blends experimental sound with striking visual worlds. Led by artist Hayden Dunham, whose debut album Clearing (2022) quickly gained attention for its bold mix of art, music and performance. Dunham first became known for boundary-pushing art projects like QT and the viral “Hey QT” energy drink collaboration, as well as large-scale public artworks across New York City. Praised by critics, W Magazine called Dunham “the art world’s new ingénue, ”while The New York Times described their work as “art you can inhale and drink.” With HYD, Dunham brings multidisciplinary vision into the pop arena, treating sound, visuals and performance as one immersive experience.
