This artist works with a surprising medium: chairs.

Tadashi Kawamata arranges hundreds of chairs so that they appear to tumble out of windows, and pile up in courtyards.

Chairs aren’t Kawamata’s only medium, but when he uses them, it works.

In Kawamata’s sculptures, chairs are not their usual ordinary, domestic, familiar selves. They are spikey and chaotic. They can flood a place with an avalanche of stiff, stabby, awkward legs.

Everyday objects can get that way. Out of context. They can push public art beyond spray paint and steel and stone.

So how about hundreds of rescue blankets, or 108 connected wooden deck chairs…

We’ll get to another everyday, ordinary-object artistic medium next time.
