Singing Beach Chairs (1987) by Douglas Hollis
DESCRIPTION: pair of 7-foot high by 4.5-foot by 4-foot stainless steel and aluminum sculptural chairs, backed by a set of five 16-foot high resonant stainless steel pipes
Hollis' tall ocean-facing chairs are site specific to take advantage of the unique ocean breeze conditions south of the Santa Monica Pier, where early afternoon on-shore breezes produce a humming resonance through the steel pipes. The sculpture was originally constructed in 1976 for the San Francisco Exploratorium.
