John Armleder: Ripple: Furniture Sculpture and Painting after 1982 presents historic works from Armleder's Furniture Sculpture series, in which found decorative objects accompany paintings so that each bridges artist and 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.
