Artist and curator Andreas Angelidakis pays homage to Ionesco at Swiss Institute with \u003ci\u003eFin de Si�cle\u003c\/i\u003e, a fantastical and idiosyncratic narrative of design after modernism. Inspired by Ionesco's play, Angelidakis reanimates a number of important chairs from design history and popular culture, casting them in dramatic roles. As a document of Swiss Institute's inaugural Architecture and Design show, this volume includes a conversation on late-modernist design between Angelidakis and Beatrice Galilee, Associate Curator of Architecture and Design at the Met; a dialogue on AirBnB's approach to space with Alessandro Bava, Aaron Taylor Harvey, Sean Monahan and Rachael Yu; an essay and specially created artist's book by Angelidakis; and a glossary of the chairs selected for the exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swiss Institute","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47999562973335,"sku":"9780999505908","price":1621.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780999505908.webp?v=1783601040","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fin-de-siecle-9780999505908","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
