Chairs Beyond Right & Wrong
R & Company presents 鈥淐hairs Beyond Right & Wrong,鈥� an exhibition curated by Raquel Cayre to re-think the chair and its corresponding forms of use and design. Featuring nearly 50 international artists and designers, the exhibition surveys the chair as a formal object, a product, a structure, a symbol and a material. Participants are invited to explore how these ideas contribute to an expanded notion of the chair as an archetype for creative work, while challenging the categorical divisions that extend between art and design. Some works were newly-produced for the exhibition, while others were curated specifically for their ability to contour away from pre-existing notions of form and function.
The title is a reference to the work of Seth Price, whose interdisciplinary use of diffusion, manipulation and narrative channel into strategies and arrangements found in the exhibition. 鈥淎ll interesting, all interlocking,鈥� the exhibition, like the chair itself is always 鈥渟omething new, something else, something something.鈥�
