No, not a chair garbage heap – This amazing art installation was made by Colombian sculptor Doris Salcedo for the International Instanbul Biennale in 2003. She used over 1,550 chairs stacked on an empty lot between two
buildings! Link – via Spludart

    How is this different than the photos of a cubicle filled with foam peanuts? Oh yeah, the artist is "conveying burdens and conflicts with precise and economical means."

    So, what's the over/under on how many people that's going to kill when it collapses?
