Deep Seated: Chairs & the Stories They Tell
January 25 @ 11:00 am – January 27 @ 5:00 pm
Deep Seated explores chairs, ancient furniture still ubiquitous today. Responding directly to human anatomy and our need for rest and repose, the chair also resonates with a multiplicity of connotations. Chairs enable us, punish us, connect us, elevate us, isolate us, and appear as rich symbols in dreams, fairy tales, and religious myths.
Instead of representations of chairs – paintings, prints, sculptures, films, or images in which chairs are a central element – Deep Seated explores chairs as artifacts, objects, and the stories they carry with them.
Deep Seated is a Museum of Everyday Life project, curated by Founder Clare Dolan.
