Dinosaur skeletons made from plastic chairs

February 23, 2008 10:21am

I am almost certain that there are only whale skeletons in this series. I've never heard of a dinosaur skeleton. Part of the significance of the sculptures being whales is that they are made from petroleum based plastic chairs, and, if I remember Moby Dick correctly, whale hunting was historically driven by the value of their oil.

I saw 3 of them in Montreal a couple of summers ago, and, yes, they are best appreciated in person.
