chair-2-chair / contemporary positions on portraiture

2chairs artspace collective with Camila Piana, Bernd Reichert, Scott Culley, Lena Ash, Jac Carley, Stefano Loiacono, Sandra Stops, Sarah Schultz, Josephine Riemann, Sabine Kontny, Jungwen Yao

The 2chairs artist collective takes on the theme of portraits – each in their own way. A portrait represents more than its sitter, and often more than its maker. Created by artists looking for honesty in their own times, there is no clear definition of what makes a portrait a portrait. The face may be a window to history or a window to the soul. A facade to hide behind. Phe portraits presented by 2chairs artists are classical, abstract, wearable, reduced to circles and intersecting lines, pieced together on textiles, surreally stretched to new dimensions, reduced to their bare bones, or have become emotions with no human features.
