Chair/Chair no. 31

This chair is composed of five letters, cut from aluminium plate: C, H, A, I, R. Similar to puzzle pieces, the letters have been combined to form a chair, resulting in a chair made from the word ‘chair’. Ku was inspired by the work One and Three Chairsby the artist Joseph Kosuth. Like Kosuth, Ku is out to provoke questions about the definition of a chair. Take this chair apart, and you are still left with a ‘chair’.[text 2023]
