“Comfort is often something that we think is innate but actually it only exists once we experience it,” says Omar Sosa, co-founder of Apartamento and curator of “Comfort,” Friedman Benda’s sixth annual guest exhibition. Through a medley of artworks and utilitarian objects, such as Nicola L’s monumental Canapé Homme Geant and Andrea Branzi’s rare Pigiama Armchair, Sosa assembles a visual landscape that dives into comfort’s relationship to aesthetics and the tension that occurs when an object can be physically comfortable but visually or psychologically uncomfortable.
