Never decorative, it embodies a chair’s provisional character. Utilitarian, never just there, called upon to serve. Communal, egalitarian, levelling its occupants, gathered for an occasion. Rarely will it hold the sitters captive. Its precariousness invites walkouts, even when secured by an admittance fee. Repositionable, it favors assorted geometries of attention: the frontal and single-focussed, the shifting and radial. Irreverent, whether in an institutional setting or not, signalling reversible orders. Possibly carnivalesque, displaying an upside-down world, as in: a projection of the high-desert landscape and transit surrounding an old ice plant in Marfa requiring no other technology but a lens and a dark room; ironically inverted in this picture of a tiny fraction of the planet— with no Google logo and copyright date camouflaged to appear like a wisp of a stratus cloud— is the electrical plant across the street grids reversed, as is the soundtrack extemporaneously produced by the cars and pickup trucks seen fleeting by from east to west though by the sound we know they’re going west to east
, and vice versa; a projection within a projection these are moving images to experience, but not keep. Unsung, stacked, piled against a wall, or hidden in closets, folding chairs will be counted on again since, plastic palace people, they’re both transience and ritual. Welcome into the fold.
