Recently I visited the 2007 Istanbul Biennial.

While browsing the web and preparing a couple of posts for my other Blog about this visit, I thought I had missed this installation, but now I am assured that these were pictures of the 2003 Istanbul Biannial. Thanks to Pytr75 (alias Belgian Pieter van den Dorpe).

Shotgun Shell Chair

Fully loaded

Fully loaded 02

Fully loaded 03

Via Yanko Design I noticed Alexander Reh, a US based artist who graduated in 2001 with a BFA in Design from The University of Texas at Austin and in 2006 with a Masters in Industrial Design from the Pratt Institute.

Alexander coined the chair: Fully Loaded Chair

With over 400 12 gauge shotgun shells, this chair truly comes Fully Loaded. The bright brass tips create a massaging texture on the top of the chair, much to the contrary of their intended use.

The back of the chair creates a stark contrast to the front with its web of red hulls protruding outward in an intense array of plastic arterial sections.
