Allyn will present an audio tour of her recent installation, “A Chair
is a Throne is A Freedom Fighter’s Camp Stool,” produced in collaboration with
award-winning radio producer Helene Rosenbluth. “A Chair is a Throne is a Freedom
Fighter’s Camp Stool” consists of 21 life size chairs with CD players in the design
of every seat for the public to listen to audio stories and soundscapes that act as
portraits of people who are resolving conflicts creatively or have rendered
thought-provoking alternatives to punishment. The chairs are set in a continuously
changing formation, inviting audience members to experience how seating arrangements
affect communication.
