Conversation Pieces: Contemporary Furniture in Dialogue
20 Aug 2022 — 25 Jun 2023 at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
· San Francisco
Conversation Pieces: Contemporary Furniture in Dialogue was presented at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) during 2022-23. The exhibition explored the intersection of art and design through a curated selection of contemporary furniture, examining how objects we live with can carry aesthetic, cultural, and conceptual weight.
The works on view challenged conventional distinctions between fine art and functional design, inviting visitors to reconsider the chair, the table, and other domestic forms as sites of creative expression and cultural conversation. By placing these pieces in dialogue with one another, the exhibition revealed how contemporary designers and artist-makers are pushing the boundaries of material, form, and meaning.
