September - October, 2019

Multidisciplinary and discursive exhibition by Berlin-based sculptor Jenny Brockmann, exploring diverse knowledge bases and how seemingly unrelated data may be critically interwoven. 

Brockmann crafted Seat #16, a sculpture with 16 individual seats connected by eight intersecting beams that each support two seats which must be at equilibrium. During four events, the audience was invited to occupy Seat #16 together with participating cultural practitioners and scientists from the US and Germany who shared their knowledge in order to engender an emotional, intellectual, and possibly existential temporary connection with each other.

Participants: Mario Gooden, RRC, Daniel Kronauer, Dina Shvetsov, Sheen Levine, Jes Fan, Stephanie Dinkins, Shelley Niro, Beldan Sezen, Birgit Möckel, Elizabeth Povinelli, Tasha Douge, Alexander Manewitz, Luciana Solano and Danielle Wu
