A Chair for All Reasons
Opening Sunday June 29, 2008
Sitting
is a universal experience. Throughout the world, people
settle into chairs, stretch out on benches, perch on stools,
sink into sofas or cushion themselves with a pillow, marking
the body's state as being both stationary yet dynamic.
A Chair for all Reasons will exhibit chairs, benches,
and stools from around the world; seventy are from the
United States, eleven will be from Europe, three from
Asia, five from Africa, five from Central America, and
one representing the New Mexican-Hispano tradition.
Opening events include a chair caning demonstration
by Ioanna Carlsen of Carlsen Caning from 2 - 4 pm, and
a demonstration of traditional New Mexican chair making
techniques with Rik Gonzales from 1 - 4 p.m. and a reception
hosted by the Museum of New Mexico Women's Board.
