For one of the houses we asked Franck Bragigand to paint and furnish the inside in preparation for Open Talks that were to take place on the opening day. Franck has a great capacity to transform the world using only a coat of paint. He’ll cover anything, but never bring in something new. To seat the audience, used chairs were brought in from all over New York, and Franck had them painted by our team of volunteers.
Open Talks took place, and after the event, Franck returned the newly painted chairs back to New York, sneaking them onto people’s front porches, neatly tucking them in front of the Guggenheim, or conveniently propping them in front of a public telephone in neighbourhoods from PSI and Guggenheim to the Bronx.

Submit your photos
If you were one of the lucky ones who found a chair and sat on it, or took it home, send us a photo to info@droog.com for publication. We’re sure Franck would want to know.
