Ripple: Furniture Sculpture and Painting after 1982 is an exhibition of historic works from John Armleder's Furniture Sculpture series. Found decorative objects accompany paintings, bridging the artist and the viewer through generous access points of association. Inspired by Erik Satie's furniture music and John Cage's embrace of chance, the works foreground collectivity — shaped by Armleder's time in prison and on a rowing team — over individual authorship. Leaving works untitled asserts a Duchampian belief that meaning belongs to the viewer, not the artist.
