Old Sparky – (In)famous Texan Electric Chair
Old Sparky – (In)famous Texan Electric Chair, photo by Kayt Sukel .
Electric chairs are not my favorite subject. Alas they are a fact of life. The blog wouldn’t be complete without a couple of electric chairs.
When a friend of mine announced via twitter she was to visit a Texan Jail museum, the Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville, Texas, USA, with a real electric chair in it, I asked her to make a photo of it for this blog and she gracefully obliged.
This famous (I would say infamous) electric chair was in operation for 40 years, between 1924 and 1964, and had 361 people killed in it.
Thank you Kayt!
Fluffy Chair by Mona Duyster at IMM Cologne 2011 (14)
My camera found this chair by Mona Duyster which I’ve now coined Fluffy. It was in the booth of the 2011 IMM Cologne convention center where work from students of the Interior design Faculty of the University of Trier (Fach Hochschule Trier) was exhibited amongst rows of chairs that normally fill the convention center.
And what chair. Like a ballerina or real fashion model it proudly shows its fluffy upholstery.
An unmanned and minimal way of showing work of your students, but some credits at the booth would have been helpful, also because you don’t have to snatch away paper fliers….Well it all invites to a good old rant: Even the post at their own site doesn’t divulge much….Trier University could learn something from other universities to promote their students and alumni in this digital age…..I do know Trier dates back a long time..but hey we’re in the 21st century Ladies and Gentleman!
