Broughel's assemblages, made with a bi-cultural collage of elements, speak of the conquest of the Iroquois and embody the Euro-Indian cultural pastiche that it produced. Eight chairs encourage viewers to ponder the thin line between borrowing and plundering and to acknowledge the morality of indebtedness. Essay by Edward Ball.
