2016 Honorarium Installations

The 10 Benches of Sitting Man

by: Art to be Continued...

from: Santa Cruz, CA

year: 2016

Each of The 10 Benches of Sitting Man represents one of the 10 Principles of Burning Man.

1. Radical Inclusion: A bench that expands beyond initial perception

2. Gifting: Lavishly painted, padded, and decorated, this bench conceals gifts to curious sitters

3. Decommodification: This bench is created entirely out of reclaimed and re-branded materials

4. Radical Self Reliance: Trash fence. Lincoln log style DIY bench

5. Radical Self Expression: Two benches facing each other with rotating speaking/listening horns mounted on sticks in between them

6. Communal Effort: An ornate and regal carrying litter provides an elegant sitting space

7. Civic Responsibility: A small shelter holds a safe space for the weary traveler with 3 low benches and a table

8. Leave No Trace: A clear plexiglass bench sits in the center of a light up zen garden

9. Participation: What is a Teeter-Totter if not a huge communal bench?

10. Immediacy: This bench is mobile. It seeks weary wanderers….
