Artist: Jerszy Seymour
Material: SCUM (technically: polyurethane foam + other anonymous substances?)
Title of Installation: Living Systems
Date: 2007 in the Vitra Design Museum in Germany
Description: Seymour's self-created material, which he refers to as "scum", is a highly ambiguous substance composed mostly of polyurethane foam, plus other slimy, unknown liquid-like materials. Seymour uses the scum as a way of challenging conventional materials of design, such as wood or plastic. The ambiguity of the material combined with the name "scum", add to the humor element of his work. In "Living Systems" Seymour covers chairs and a table with brightly colored pink, yellow, orange, and white scum, which when poured over chairs and tables resembles a huge pile of chewed bubble gum.
the living system project is made from
ReplyDeletepla a plastic wholly produced from potatoe starch. it is moulded over sand forms. there is no polyurethane or covering of other furniture.
the use of polyurethane as scum refers to other projects. thanks to note the correction
happy blogging.
