More like thisMaterial: Used drawers, maplewood, jute strap Year: 1991 The Chest of Drawers 'You can’t lay down your memory' were created during an exploration of the workings of the memory. In memory art and -rhetoric, methods have been developed to train the memory. By relating situations and things with places in the house, memory art makes memories easy to call up. The same applies to the Chest of Drawers; by composing used, old drawers in a chaotic arrangement, the objects you place in a drawer obtain a particular spot on the chest. The chest is a metaphor for the memory system. The Chest of Drawers is a collection of picked up drawers that have been given a new enclosure. These are then piled up on each other and held together with a furniture moving strap. The Chest of Drawers is a part of three products, with the Ragchair and the Milkbottle lamp, which formulate the following idea: make your own world with what you encounter, as Robinson Crusoë created his own paradise on his island. The Chest of Drawers is part of the first collection of Droog Design. Order through Droog Design: 2005 2005 - Notes: [2] Invoice from Barry Friedman Ltd., October 21, 2005 [SLAM document files].

Decorative Arts and Design You Can’t Lay Down Your Memory Chest of Drawers Artwork DetailsArtist/MakerTejo Remy (Dutch, born 1960), designer and maker Datedesigned 1991, fabricated 2008 MediumMaple, various preexisting drawers, jute furniture mover's strap, and metal Accession #2008.161 Dimensions24 x 34 inches LocationOn View - Wieland Pavilion, Skyway, Gallery 419 DescriptionTejo Remy’s concept for this chest is a functional and visual marker of spaces to hold and retain memories. By creating a new context for old, forgotten parts (the drawers), he recycles the works and the meaning found within and around them. In 2008, the High sent out a statewide call for submissions of drawers from any type of furniture to be included; the chosen entries were assembled on site by Remy based on the original design Remy first debuted with Droog in 1991. His design philosophy champions a more responsible, moral, and simplistic approach, as demonstrated with these repurposed drawers. CreditPurchase with funds from the Friends of the Decorative Arts |
