An original exhibition is currently on show in the metro station Botanique in Brussels: Chais’Art. The theme of the exhibition is the wheelchair as artistic icon, giving a new and amusing take on the subject. The artist is Cleon Angelo, himself a wheelchair user, working in collaboration with Benedict Gastout, graphic designer. The aim of the exhibition is to put the spotlight on the issue of accessibility for wheelchair users. Chais’Art has experimented with different variations of the international symbol for accessibility for wheelchair users. The images are humorous, but they are also surprising and thought provoking.
The chair is an art-form: it rolls on for us, it sticks with us, it bends over backwards to take us to the ends of the world, but we can only go to the places where the chair can pass. It is part of our difference… in search of recognition.
The art of the chair deserves to be known, to be honoured, tasted … The art of the chair announces, influences and denounces! Chais’Art is for disabled people who only want one thing: to take their place in society. Chais’Art is available on different themes: mobility, accessibility, Brussels, Europe, art, famous people … and is the brainchild of two artists who exhibit their work for the benefit of the association Autonomia asbl.
