Exhibitions featuring chairs as theme and/or material have abounded in the art world for years. Sit Down, Man, the one-day, four-person show on Sunday, March 22, 2020 at 4411 Montrose in Houston, took one to four visitors at a time, and by appointment only. It was organized by artist Michael Bhichitkul.

A very fine show from what can be seen and understood. Too good for our moment of distance/isolation, but certainly about our moment in a thoughtful and poignant way. Visual, spacial, and fraught, but with hope, still. Four artists who will make our bright future. AP
