Exhibitions

A Seat At The Table is a group exhibition at Wasps Southblock that brings together a diverse range of practitioners working across furniture making, sculpture, design, and contemporary art. The exhibition is grounded in the chair as a recognisable, made object, something designed to be used, while also exploring how that understanding can be expanded, challenged, and redefined.

From carefully crafted, fully functional chairs to works that test the limits of use, representation, and definition, the exhibition reveals the chair as both a physical form and a site of inquiry. Some works invite sitting; others refuse it. Some prioritise structure, material, and skill; others operate through image, language, or absence. Together, they form a conversation around how meaning is constructed through object, function, and perception.
