The Cleve Carney Museum of Art will present Chair-ish, an exhibition of Chicago-based artists Alex Chitty and Norman Teague, opening in January 2026. Working together for the first time, in this exhibition Chitty and Teague explore material, memory, and spatial dialogue through distinct yet complementary practices. While Chitty’s sculptural investigations often disrupt perception and gesture toward the poetic in the everyday, Teague’s work draws on vernacular design, cultural heritage, and the social histories embedded in form. Both Chitty’s sculptural investigations and Teague’s work disrupt perception and gesture toward the poetic in the everyday; drawing on vernacular design, cultural heritage, and the social histories embedded in form. The artists will examine the intimacy of the objects we interact with daily and the installation will echo their sentimentality with artworks that feel at once new and familiar.
