Robert ChambersVitruvius’ Recliner, 2004 Wood, electrical component 6’ x 3’ x 4’ extended Robert Chambers has returned to SKW 2010 with a lazy boy recliner stripped down and masterfully recreated into a multi layered homage to the historical greats: Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, the Roman writer, architect and engineer; Leonarda DaVince and his Vitruvian man; Marcel Duchamp and his ready mades. Finally, a reference to the contemporary buddhist monk and visionary Thich Nhat Hanh and his morning yoga exercise provides a trajectory for thought.
