It’s a single installation, AFAIK - and definitely an art project. Having some academic arts background, I dare to say the focus of the installation is the difference between “in the middle” and “aside”. So it’s highly symbolic. Practically two chairs with a reasonable gap inbetween would be far more practical but they, of course, don’t transmit any message.

But what this art says to me, as a wheelchair user, is something completely different because this design is the opposite of inclusive. Is that what is meant? This design says I should be excluded – taking it as art, this design communicates everyone having conversations and leaving me out, because that back bar will exclude me by design. If I’m to socialise, I should be on one end or the other, but that middle part means I’ll be artificially excluded by the environment. Is that what it’s meant to mean?
