This Table & 4 Chairs are part of a series which includes “A Transparent House” in Turku, Finland and “A Fisherman” for Helsinki and Rotterdam. One way or the other, 3 three dimensional drawings (giving form to steel strips or steel nets) will trigger stories. The stories will differ from one person to another but they will deal with having a place to stay, meeting people, and ways of earning a living.
The Table & 4 Chairs was conceived for the Carnotstraat in Antwerp in mind. This is a street where people have always gone to buy furniture. The objects of the design are so large that street cars and other vehicles will have to travel between the legs of the table and chairs themselves. Sometimes the support generated to realize a project is not enough or the situation where the realization has to take place is too complicated. That was the case for this project in Belgium. It’s a pity but all part of the game for an artist to see how far you can get from an idea to completion.
