• Info text: Sun Yuan and Peng Yu’s installations often involve
the staging of visceral, intimidating spectacles; the act of
looking on the part of the audience is a constitutive element
of their recent works. the object is loosely based on the
imperial roman chair featured as a component of the statue in
the Lincoln memorial in Washington, D.C., while the chair is
kept company by a rubber hose that violently whips around
the surrounding space. in between these periodic eruptions of
violence, the chair sits inert again, almost invitingly serene –
until the assault recommences.

blending stick to blend it out.
