Chairs
125 Newbury
April 17 - May 23
Chairs at 125 Newbury, curated by Arne Glimcher, brings together an eclectic group of artists from the 1960s to the present to examine the chair as both object and idea. The exhibition will run from April 17 to May 23.
The chair is an indelible image in the history of art—a symbol of authority and power, but also of comfort and repose, its uncanny anthropomorphism stands as a surrogate for the body: at once supportive, imposing, and subtly animate. The exhibition is rooted in Lucas Samaras’s fantastical, often sinister chair constructions, which will be in dialogue with sculptures by Jim Dine, Alicja Kwade and Saul Steinberg, each of which offer wry, metaphysical meditation on the ponderous of the body through the literal and symbolic forms of chairhood. Kiki Smith’s elegiac, airborne chairs and David Byrne’s whimsical macaroni chair introduce notes of levity and transformation, even as they underscore the chair’s oscillation between comfort and disquiet, repose and even latent menace—its potential, at the limit, as a lethal prosthesis.
The exhibition puts these historical artists in dialogue with contemporary artists who reimagine the functional chair object as a site of formal invention, tactile engagement, and social experimentation, including Julian Schnabel, Yto Barrada, Loie Hollowell, Mika Tajima, Nathalie du Pasquier, and Arlene Shechet. These sculptural works are complemented by representational works dealign with the problem of the chair by Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Sylvia Plimack Mangold, and others, each probing in different ways the chair’s persistent presence as a stage for the body and a charged cultural sign.
