The Texas Chair Project is an artistic exchange initiated by Texas artist Damian Priour. In 2007, Priour created and mailed 100 unique miniature glass and limestone chairs to fellow artists with the request that they return a chair in response. This exhibition showcases that interchange with Texas artists Steve Brudniak, Melissa Miller, Jesus Moroles, Margo Sawyer, Bob Schneider, James Surls, The Art Guys, and Sydney Yeager, among others, participating. A celebration of material exploration, the chairs have been created in such diverse media as a beer can, buttons, cast bronze, plastic army men, sawdust, steel, uranium tubing, and U.S. currency. Organized by Damian Priour and Eva Buttacavoli, Director of Exhibitions and Education, Austin Museum of Art.

This is worth seeing more than once. You'll never look at something you sit on in the same way. Our family was in Austin this weekend and we hope this show comes to Chicago.
