12VA Theory: Willie Bester: The Chair


Art & Politics: Willie Bester: The Chair

Critics have found Willie Bester's work to be 'preachy' and 'tritely literal' - what do you think?

You may use the links below for a reminder of our discussion in class.

Record your analysis and discussion in an infographic/ essay.

   
The Chair - installation from the 1990s
