You could take a 'normal' chair around with you to check out how the wax chair would look when in situ. Sometimes that extra effort pays off because you get that direct audience interaction. Once done you could then propose how the actual chair would be sited.
i understand that because the wax chair isn't in the real situation it becomes hard to know the real reaction from people. I feel that by using a normal chair i would loose the reaction that i might get with the wax chair as its not a normal chair. I will look into maybe taking the wax chair on my next location......
One and Three Chairs, 1965, is a work by Joseph Kosuth that is unavoidable in terms of a historical context when you start working with chairs. If your work was reviewed by critics, I’m sure they would bring his work up. So how would you feel about having your work contextualized in this way? Are we having to think about several audiences at once, the historically informed art audience and the general public? Does this matter?
