The Chair Affair

source: funjust
这是一个尴尬的话题，似乎一不小心就会从艺术跌入三俗，而这个展览巧妙的解决了这个问题。

试想，你可以站在画廊里，对着这些照片做深思状，心里想着晚上的事儿，那什么，你懂的，然后拍着胸脯跟人说，我在欣赏艺术。

艺术家Margriet Craens和设计师Lucas Maassen合作发起了这个艺术项目，他们用椅子模拟各种做爱姿势，还配以衣服等以强化拟人效果。不得不说，这组照片真是让人想入非非。

For their first collaboration ever, visual artist Margriet Craens and designer Lucas Maassen have produced a series of unusual photographs, as part of the exhibition ‘The Vincent Affair’ currently on display at the Huis Nune Ville in Nuenen, the Netherlands. Inviting visitors to ‘‘see the world from a different perspective, like Vincent [van Gogh] did’’, the exhibition includes works from eight Dutch artists and designers, each in its own way exploring the idiosyncrasies of how van Gogh used to work and what it means to attempt to see the world differently. The ‘Chair Affair’ project, Craens and Maassen’s contribution to the exhibition, is a photographic series depicting pairs of chairs placed in ways that remind sexual positions and other intimate scenarios. A couple also in life, Craens and Maassen have described their project as sketchy and autobiographical, and the result of a confrontation between their two very different practices (design and art).

On display at Nune Ville, which is the house where the love of Vincent´s life, Margot Begemann, lived, this is a unique place for visitors to get into the spirit of Vincent Van Gogh.

Located in Nuenen, Netherlands, visitors are invited to see the world from a different perspective.
