1983-87
Two interlocking cast iron chairs, finished with a grit blast texture, are fused together in a distorted, almost violent configuration that renders them completely unusable. Nauman transforms a familiar domestic object into an unsettling sculptural form, exploring themes of dysfunction, tension, and the subversion of everyday utility. The raw, industrial quality of the cast iron amplifies the work's sense of weight and permanence.
