Here's an excerpt from an article I wrote for Studio Potter Magazine:
a seat at the table, by Canadian artist Carole Epp, was on display at the Art Gallery of Alberta as part of their exhibition borderLINE: 2020 Biennial of Contemporary Art on display from September 26, 2020, to January 3, 2021. The installation was comprised of a dinner table holding approximately one hundred paper Royal Chinet plates, each painted with different portraits of frontline workers performing the variety of services they have delivered throughout the pandemic. Bolted on top of these plates is a piece of plexiglass. This foundation supports four vintage china plates, each inscribed with a different phrase from anti-mask protests. Four upholstered chairs surround the table and complete the piece.
