The Singing Chair

‘Interaction’ is an important element of Chao-Tsai Chiu’s creative process, and he incorporates audience participation into the rational language of mechanical sculpture, making use of witty humor to transform something everyday into a child-like game world.
Colorful chairs line the Cultural Corridor waiting for someone to come and take a seat. Each chair croons its own melody, as softly as the music box in our childhood memories. "The Singing Chair" is inspired by the idea of a " respite". If a tightly wound-up lever symbolizes "hard work", a beautiful relaxing melody follows once the lever relaxes. In life we work hard to get to a point when we can take a break. The chair is a form of self-care and reward for hard work.
Please take a seat and enjoy its relaxing comforts. Give yourself a good break!
