The Craens and Maassen’s ‘Chair Affair’ project, consist in a exposition like a photographic series depicting pairs of chairs placed in ways that remind sexual positions and other intimate scenarios.

The creator team, invite to visitors to see the world from a hilarious different perspective like a Van Gogh did. Craens and Maassen, a couple also in life, have described their project as sketchy and autobiographical, and the result of a confrontation between their two very different practices (design and art).

The exhibit, shows too the works from eight Dutch artists and designers, each in its own way exploring the idiosyncrasies of how van Gogh used to work and what it means to attempt to see the world differently.
The Vincent Affair exhibition will be open the gates, the Huis Nune Ville, Berg 24, Nuenen, The Netherlands until 01 October 2015.
