Take a seat 坐享 - 非洲部落椅凳展



2023.06.10 (六) –  2023.07.8 (六)





















是一個人的寧靜,兩個人的浪漫,一把椅子,乘載著你我的日常

在非洲部落裡,椅凳通常由家族成員或是部落裡的傳統工匠製作。
一張專屬的椅凳,除了被視為是家族可傳承的財產之外,也是權力和社會地位的象徵。
非洲部落椅凳的特點通常是其獨一無二的雕刻、象徵性圖騰以及獨特的造型和尺寸,
他們不僅是實用的家具,更可視為藝術品,反映出部落藝術裡渾然天成的創造力、
文化傳統和信仰。這次,小巴廊精選來自非洲不同部落的12件各具代表性的作品,
邀請大家來坐坐,來當一回剛登基的國王、統御族群的酋長,
也或許是在原野中用神話傳遞知識給預言家。




            

A moment of tranquility for one, a romantic gesture for two, a chair that carries our everyday lives.

In African tribes, chairs and stools are often crafted by family members or traditional artisans within the tribe. A personalized chair or stool is not only seen as a valuable family heirloom but also as a symbol of power and social status.

The distinctive features of African tribal stools are usually their unique carvings, symbolic totems, and distinct shapes and sizes. They are not only functional pieces of furniture but also works of art that reflect the tribe's inherent creativity, cultural traditions, and beliefs.

In this exhibition,  has carefully selected 12 representative pieces from various African tribes. We invite you to sit and experience what it’s like to be a newly crowned king, a chieftain commanding a tribe, or perhaps to embody a storyteller transmitting knowledge through myth to a prophet in the wilderness.

These stools transcend their utilitarian purpose, offering an opportunity to connect with a deeper cultural and artistic legacy.
