Press release
The Mittelhalle of Haus der Kunst München will become a constantly evolving social space of movement and encounters with Sitzung (Meeting or Sitting), a playful new work by the acclaimed Italian designer Martino Gamper, opening on 27 July 23 and continuing until April 1.
Martino Gamper will be in residence at Haus der Kunst, creating a series of newly designed chairs, a development of his celebrated long-running project “100 Chairs in 100 Days”. During the run of the exhibition, the new chairs will be freely reconfigured by the public and the staff — to gather, to rest, and to play — turning the Mittelhalle into a vibrant, constantly changing social space. The reconfigurations will be based on a series of rules that Gamper will deliver at the beginning of the project, defining a choreography that will transform the appearance of the whole space weekly. Alongside furniture, Gamper will create a new light design that will change the atmosphere of the Mittelhalle from a usually transitory space to one of gathering.
