Franz West: Rest
September 26, 1994–June 26, 1995, Dia Chelsea
Overview
On the rooftop of Dia, West installs twenty-seven welded steel couches with cotton slipcovers and accompanying tables. He develops a black and white color scheme, a departure from his preference of multiple colors, which his collaborator Gilbert Bretterbauer sews into bold iconic patterns. West invites the viewer to participate and interact with the objects.
