Ancient Ordinary
Ancient Ordinary
Ancient Ordinary is a visual art exhibition by Alex Panzer and Kaleb Wesolek that aims to reflect on and reinterpret the objects that frequent our lives. This concept is explored through pieces that represent ordinary objects. The Artifacts, The Ancestor, The Sitter, and The Chair all presented as if stumbled upon by an archeologist of the future mulling over ancient humans.
The mundane suddenly becomes the most interesting without the context of the object. One of the most mundane and ubiquitous objects, the chair, was chosen for reinterpretation. Used simply to sit and rest, think, consume. What if our understanding of the mundane was not so obvious and universal? The Chair answers this question through re contextualization.
