Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Sometimes you see a photo and want to know the background of it. Here in “Children of a lesser God” Matt Collishaw re enacted a Romulus and Remus scene in order to attract attention to many children from broken homes roaming the streets of Bethnal Green, near Matt’s studio: Two kids on an abandoned sofa guarded by wild dogs. One kid sucking a nipple of the farthest dog.
I took this photo last week in Torino at the GAM Turino.
I was just searching the Commons on Flickr and saw this chair photo of ca 1900 from the collection of the Powerhouse Museum. Couldn’t wait till Halloween to share it with you:-)

The Powerhouse Museum, located in Sidney says:
This collection of glass plate negatives was acquired by the Museum in the 1980s and appears to have been made by a Sydney based photographic studio from around 1880 through to 1920. The images are on both whole and half plate negatives and many of the larger images are of a high quality.
The Melancholy of Objects is a series of portraits of the objects photographer Guy Batey found lost or discarded on the streets of Southwark in South-East London. We, of course, are particularly interested in his “Blue Chair” piece pictured above.
Once in a wile a sexy man in a chair helps my Chairchez L’homme or “search the man in the chair or with the chair” category.
