This Is Not a Chair

This Is Not a Chair
It’s an agreement

This Is Not a Chair
We use signs and language to control the world around
us. And this is not a chair

-’So it’s NOT a chair?”
We call it a chair, but actually it is an image of a
chair

This is Not a Chair
It’s treachery. It’s an idea of a chair

This Is Not a Chair
-‘It’s not a chair?’
No ofcourse not. Try to sit on it

Ceci n’est pas une chaise

This is my contribution to STOELENDANS, an initiative of Peter Visser & Pink Meltzer and on show at Kunstroute Leiden on September 23 & 24.
