Sweet Water Organics will present "Chair grows out of a hotpot," a performance by Hongtao Zhou on Nov. 22 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Madison-based artist Hongtao Zhou has gained fame around the world for his furniture-making performances. He has built "snow furniture" on Lake Mendota in Madison and "ice chairs" in Northern China.

During Tuesday's performance, Zhou will build a chair out of wax in preparation for his upcoming exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum, "The Tool At Hand."
