sculptural collaboration by Steven Jouwersma and Alban Karsten, co-curated and 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 by Timmy van Zoelen, shown 7 & 8 November at Superdeals, Brussels.⁣⁣⁣

As we approach Superdeals’ large display window, we see an archetypal office chair in a showroom setting, which serves as the basis for a new sculptural collaboration between Alban Karsten and Steven Jouwersma. Appendages such as wooden sculptural handles, sound, movement and painted elements are applied to this alleged piece of furniture, enabling Alban and Steven to merge both their art practices into one object.⁣⁣⁣
