Club Together, 2024.
Unabashedly bringing colour and joy, Emma Hart’s upbeat commission for the Modern Art Oxford cafe transforms the underground space. Club Together generates the energy of a basement rave, with the backs of the chairs creating a crowd of hands lifted in celebration, offering an enthusiastic welcome to visitors. Glass-topped tables and seats bounce energising sunset shades across the floor, creating ever-changing patterns that shift as people move. The imperfect circles, that shape the furniture, reveal they were drawn by the artist herself, retaining a sense of Hart’s hands-on making process. Unaffected by the outside world, the cafe offers a space for gathering and enjoyment, in which to feel exuberant and revitalised.
