Museum & exhibitions Saturday 23 September 2023 - Sunday 14 January 2024 Annex: Thierry Oussou – Impossible is nothing Thierry Oussou, project impossible is nothing 2016, allada benin amsterdam Practical information Centraal MuseumAgnietenstraat 13512 XA Utrecht View location In the Annex of the Statement Chairs exhibition, the installation Impossible is Nothing by Thierry Oussou (1988, Allada, Benin) is on show. Central to this artwork is a very special chair: the throne of King Béhanzin (1845–1906), the last king of Dahomey, now Benin. The throne embodies the king’s position, but it also symbolises how the colonial powers took the king’s place at the end of the nineteenth century. As Oussou puts it, “If you take the king’s throne, you take his place”. In Impossible is Nothing, Oussou shows that the chair represents power. He also asks questions about access to and ownership of cultural heritage, and about craftsmanship and scholarship.
