Evolution of a Street Chair in the Pop-Up Show
A South End resident left this sofa on the corner of Claremont Street and Columbus Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts on October 10th, 2011. Sign reads: “Free to whoever wants it.”
The sofa remains on the corner, and I spot it on October 17th, but this time stripped of its slip cover.
The sofa eventually disappears, and on October 24th, I hang its photo on Massachusetts Avenue near the Southwest Corridor as part of the Pop-Up Chair Exhibition.
An unknown person removed the poster shortly thereafter on October 25th.
This post is part of the International Street Chair Pop-Up Show.
