Chairs by Sook Jin Jo

Korean-born, NY-based artist Sook Jin Jo combines a minimalist sense of pure structure with a love for rough-hewn materials. Conceptually, they invite a meditative and physical interaction with asymmetrical balances and unexpected harmonies of color, texture, and shape. Form, meaning, and effect are united by a single spiritual purpose: reclamation.

Philosopher Paul Virilio, in collaboration with the artists and architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Mark Hansen, and Laura Kurgan, examines and challenges new trends in contemporary human movement due to environmental, political, and economic factors.
