Studio Campo Boario, for the new edition of Rome Art Week presents an exhibition and a series of meetings dedicated to the theme of the "chair." This event is in continuity with our recent events, offering a deep reflection on an iconic object that has played a fundamental role in the anthropological development of humanity.
The exhibition features an extensive collection of artists' chairs, photographs and visual works depicting this extraordinary object, which has fascinated some brilliant minds in art history, including Van Gogh, Kosuth and Warhol. Through these works, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the evolution of the chair as an art object and cultural symbol.
But our initiative does not stop there. We have organized a series of talks involving designers, architects, philosophers and anthropologists. These experts will share their perspectives on how the chair has influenced and shaped society in extremely diverse areas. This will be an opportunity to explore the role of the chair in art history, architecture and culture, as well as in the broader context of human development.
Through the talks and the exhibition we will discover together how such a common object can have an extraordinary impact on our perception of the world and our own evolution. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to deepen your understanding of an object as ubiquitous as it is fascinating.
