Have a Seat: Mexican chair design today, is an interactive exhibition featuring three historical works of art, 17 contemporary seats designed by 22 Mexican artists, and an art installation.
The stool from the Tempo collection is part of the Have a Seat exhibit at the Denver Art Museum.
Through their pioneering designs, Have a Seat artists embark on a journey through history and traditions, exploring the enduring legacy of the intercultural world that emerged in Mexico after the Spanish conquest, which incorporated elements of indigenous communities , Asian, African and European cultures and continues to inspire new types of objects and furniture for the 21st century.
Have a Seat invites visitors to learn about the connection between contemporary Mexican design and ancient and colonial artistic practices. Hands-on interactions throughout the exhibition will encourage visitors to sit and move select chairs and seating, offering the tools to identify antique, colonial, and mid-century modern influences.
