Press release of Joy Dayrit's solo exhibition 'MyChair/30Times' written by Roberto Chabet. The exhibition was curated by Roberto Chabet at Finale Art Gallery, SM Megamall from 24 September to 5 October 2002.
Excerpt from the press release:
'Self-descriptively titled 'MyChair/30Times', the exhibition consists of 30 small, same-size paintings in oil of the simple wrought iron and wicker chair which the poet and short story writer uses to write and paint in.
Recalling the artist's minimalist short stories in its matter-of-factness, the series of 30 paintings arranged in neat rows in the gallery is a virtual filmic story board unfolding a narrative devoid of figures in which the story seems to be happening elsewhere off-screen, leaving the viewer instead transfixed at a surrogate self-portrait of the artist as an absent sitter.'
