12³ is an unusual art project involving a relentless organizer, a furniture designer, a pioneering group of artists and a galley-as-playground. Each artist was given a chair and a cube to work on, and challenged to think of them as blank canvases. Individually, the pieces reflect each artist’s take on the challenge; together, they tell a short story of a time-specific cooperation. Trans-generational – from celebrated figures to the new generation of Iranian artists – the project reveals the creativity that emerges when art is looked at as a game.

though this collection exhibited in Aun was pretty something, but I found this page including pictures of shows and installations consisting of chair(s). some similarities between these projects and off course finding out that visiting an exhibition about or around chair (and a cube publicly prescribed as a table) is not necessarily a vibrant and fresh experience, was quite of both consciousness and disappointment! but again I liked the show and Mehran’s, Jahangir’s and Ghasemi’s where my favorites!
