‘Breuer’, ‘Rietveld’ and ‘Eames’ from the series ‘Just chairs’ (2011) by Michael Kluver
The chairs in Kluver’s series are altered versions of modernist design classics. All pushed back into the simple archetypal form, all of them now are dominated by simple ergonomic dimensions. Same seating height, seating width, seating depth, overall height, and angle of the backrest.

The series ‘You see I am here after all’ by Zoe Leonard.
A work comprising several thousand vintage postcards of Niagara Falls, dating from the early 1900s to the 1950s. Rendered stereotypical and generic through repetition over decades, these landscape motifs are emblematic of mass culture’s transformation of natural sites into tourist destinations. As installed at the Dia Art Foundation, Beacon, NY.
