This GIF from Soliman Lopez is part of project investigating Joseph Kosuth’s 1965 piece “One and Three Chairs.” Kosuth represented the chair as a manufactured object, a photograph, and the printed dictionary definition of “chair”. The then-groundbreaking conceptual work is in MoMA’s permanent collection.
Soliman Lopez created the above GIF [h/t This is not the art blog you are loking for] of the iconic chair for the larger piece “Making Disappear Joseph Kusuth’s Chair,” which concluded with the artist swallowing the micro SD card containing the rendering (also documented in GIF form, below) and signed statements from witnesses. That’s what I call commitment to 1960’s conceptualism—with a very contemporary, likely toxic, twist.
