�Der afrikanische Stuhl von Marcel Breuer und Gunta Stoelz aus der Anfangszeit des Bauhauses 80 Jahre verschollen geglaubt und nun aufgefunden und erstmals praesentiert.�[1]

7 th September � 24th October 2009
Opening: Monday 7th September 6.30 pm - 8.30 pm


Tommaso Corvi-Mora is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by David Lieske, his first in the UK.

The exhibition will include new work produced by reconfiguring earlier works into items of furniture with an "African" theme. The starting point of the exhibition was the recent rediscovery of "The African Chair" by Marcel Breuer and Gunta Stoelz, supposedly used by the head of the Bauhaus and subsequently lost for eighty years.

Drawing on a diverse range of materials, methods and references, David Lieske examines the conditions of production, presentation and context. Lieske habitually exploits misunderstanding, coincidence and self-reference, allowing happenstance to lead him from one idea to the next, from one project to the next.

The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday 11am to 6pm.
For further information or photographic material please call 020 7840 9111

Next exhibition: Dee Ferris 29th October - 22nd December 2009
