Perhaps one of the most lovely art exhibitions in town this year was Provocations at the Nasher Sculpture Center. Featuring the design work of the UK’s Heatherwick Studio, it featured small scale models, or bits and pieces of designs from around the globe, all of which demonstrated the company’s humanistic approach to creation. And one of the best parts of the exhibition was a simple one: a chair without a back that spins without throwing you out. They were displayed outside next to garden and they were a hit. Everyone went for a spin in the Spun Chairs, which is why you might be excited to hear the Nasher Sculpture Center (2001 Flora St.) is giving 10 of the chairs away to a few lucky Instgrammers. Stop by the gallery from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday during the extended holiday hours and snap a selfie in the chair, upload it to the Nasher Facebook page or your own Instragram with a funny caption that include the hashtag #spintowin. Every day at 4 p.m. from December 26 – January 4 a winner of one of those lovely chairs (valued at $699.00) will be announced. More information at nashersculpturecenter.org.
