This is the first presentation in Ireland of Therrien’s impressive work No Title (Table and Four Chairs), 2003. Standing at almost ten feet tall, No Title (Table and Four Chairs) is a typical dining set reproduced on a giant scale.
Towering over you, this colossal artwork provokes memories of childhood and asks us to reconsider household items that we often overlook as adults.
