The sequel to The Spirit of Chairs reconfigures Thierry Barbier-Mueller's collection through a symphony of light, sound and staging by Robert Wilson A second act to the beloved The Spirit of Chairs , A Chair and You revisits the contemporary chair collection of Swiss entrepreneur Thierry Barbier-Mueller (1960-2023), but with a twist. Furniture pieces by artists and designers such as Niki de Saint Phalle, Frank Gehry, Donald Judd, Jasper Morrison and others are seen in a new light--literally--thanks to a dramatic exhibition design by American director Robert Wilson (1941-2025). Conceived as an opera in four acts, A Chair and You is a succession of evocative atmospheres that articulate the sculptural presence of each object. To complement the exhibition, the corresponding catalog recounts the mise-en-scène of each staging and the dramaturgy behind it, while essays shed light on the project's inception and the close relationship between Barbier-Mueller and Wilson.
