The Denver Art Museum (DAM) presents Have a Seat: Mexican Chair Design Today, an interactive exhibition featuring three historical artworks, 17 contemporary seats designed by 22 Mexican artists and a site-specific art installation. Curated by Jorge Rivas Pérez, Frederick and Jan Mayer Curator of Latin American Art.

Through their pioneering designs, the artists in Have a Seat embark on a journey through history and traditions, exploring into the enduring legacy of the cross-cultural world that emerged in Mexico following the Spanish conquest which incorporated elements of Indigenous, Asian, African and European cultures and continues to influence the development of the arts today, inspiring new types of objects and furniture for the 21st century. Have a Seat showcases furniture by contemporary Mexican designers represented in the museum’s permanent collection, including Andrés Lhima, Cecilia León de la Barra, Daniel Valero, Bárbara Sánchez-Kane, Jorge Diego Etienne and many more.
