Make chairs like that out of recycled materials and youre onto a winner. I think the chairs themselevs are quite trendy, but as a display the political motives are flawed.

OK. i already knew that. so a pile of junk suddenly becomes (somewhat) meaningful only upon explanation. i would prefer an installation that is interesting without any justification for it's existence. i agree, there is too much junk out there. and maybe art can be used to teach us this lesson. but too me, this is still just junk, and i don't want to look at it. why do 99% of installations need a thesis and explanation to have any perveived usefulness?

The whole "cobble together objects" in an amorphous pattern has been done again and again. A seemingly Frank-Gehry-esque "look at how not normal this is" idea that ruins practicality and usability.
