AUGUSTAS SERAPIANS
CHAIR FOR THE INVIGILATOR
Fondazione Federico Zeri, Bologna, Italy
NOW ON VIEW
5 - 8 February 2026
On the occasion of ART CITY Bologna 2026, Augustas Serapinas presents a selection of sculptures from the series ‘Chair for the Invigilator’, first shown in 2019 at the 58th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, in the library of the Fondazione Federico Zeri.
The sculptures take the form of seats inspired by lifeguard stations or tennis umpire chairs. Raised approximately two metres above the floor and accessible by a ladder, they were originally conceived for cultural mediators, with the aim of making their presence within the exhibition space more visible.
