The Chartwell Chair Project: A Chartwell 50th Anniversary Project

NORTHART is pleased to announce that we will be participating in The Chartwell Chair Project: A Chartwell 50th Anniversary Project.

Rob Gardiner, the founder of the Chartwell Trust and Collection, loves the chance to sit down in art galleries, to slow down and really look at an artwork. He often asks why we are offered a seat at the cinema, theatre, concert hall and sports stadium, and applaud at the end of a performance, but in art galleries, we are conditioned to stand silently in front of a work and move on. The Chartwell Chair gives gallery visitors the time to relax, feel and be with an artwork, allowing the viewing experience to unfold.

You can find NORTHARTs ‘Chartwell Chair’ in the Gallery from Saturday, May 4, to accompany the opening preview of our next exhibition ABSTRAXT ABSTRAXT.
