In celebration of
Presentation House Gallery's annual auction and gala, twenty contemporary artists have been selected to re-interpret Enzo Mari's iconic
Sedia 1 chair -- an iconic modernist item that has served as the precursor to the pre-fabricated, self-assembled furniture that populates condominiums across the world today. If that sounds easy, there's a catch: each artist has to use every single piece of the
Sedia 1 chair kit that they were given.
Winsor Gallery's Martha Varcoe Sturdy dove right into the challenge, and has been working away at her studio to create an icy, resin-bathed take on Mari's design.
Martha isn't the only one who's been keeping busy -- see some other notable takes below, and see them all in person at the
Presentation House Gallery Auction this Saturday, at Secret Location (1 Water Street).
