French artist Olivier Bardin installed this gaggle of chesterfield club chairs in the Tate Modern for their exhibition, The Fifth Floor: Ideas Taking Space. It is (they are?) a performance. What happens is this: you look at the club chairs, then you look at the people in the club chairs, then you become the people in the club chairs, and then other people look at you. Bam!
Point is, given our affinity for things chesterfield, No Smarties will be moving offices to this room faster than you can say “brandy snifter.”
