Side chair entitled "my land is your land" by artist Markus Friedrich Staab

About the Item

Typical german Farmstuhl (Bauernstuhl) contemporized. Painted, lacquered, additional pieces added or replaced. German furniture artist Staab reworked this piece in a super contemporary way. • Info about Markus F. Staab • born 1964 in Aschaffenburg, Germany • since 1986 active as a visual artist • since 1989 national and international exhibitions • since 2010 work with „re-cycled and found objects“ The chair has been with us almost since the beginning of time. A piece of furniture not just for practical purposes, but as an expression of royalty, of religion, of hierarchy, of art. We examine the history of this unique object which has served each one of us since childhood. Through my work I transform each chair into a unique and individual object. Chairs that once were mass-produced and homogenous, become singular and unique: re-cycled, re-furbished, re-mixed and re-decorated. I am particularly interested to give value and meaning to something that has been overlooked. To free the object from its traditional use and turn it into something special. Through this process the chair that was once used on a daily basis, becomes a self-sufficient piece of art. Hereby we explore traditional historical objects that gain value by a mere change of perspective. It is these themes of chairs as sculptural objects and art as object of utility that I am particularly fascinated by. It is the love for the daily things that we surround ourselves with, their unique shape and expression, that give me hope that not all is lost to pure consumerism and IKEAlisation
