Stability Not Stabile-ity
By Diane Mayr
Response
“The aesthetic value of these objects cannot be arrived at by reasoning. Familiarization is necessary.” — Alexander Calder
It looked to be
something created
as an art project–
an homage to
Alexander Calder.
A stabile chair
if you must have
a name for it–
metallic, colorful,
collectible?
But, there it sat
on the sidewalk,
next to the trash,
awaiting the Friday
morning pick-up.
In need of a chair
that’ll wrap around
me in comfort, I knew
familiarization is
more than aesthetics.
The city garbage
truck pulled up. It’s
efficient crew jumped
off and put an end to
any and all reasoning.
