TRANSFORMED CHAIRS: A Recycled Object Art Exhibition
The Transformed Chairs Exhibit is a primer in creativity and a recommendation for recycling. Artists were given old, broken and ready to be thrown out chairs to use to make artworks - they could use all of, any of - deconstructed, reconstructed, painted, covered, and embellished objects - totally transformed. The results could be functional chairs that could be used for sitting or transformed into something completely different. Some chairs still looked like chairs but were only visual editorial comments on a chair's function.

Sam, forgive me for posting the following comment on this post, but many of us have been waiting for the "true life-cycle costs" on the tram for over six months-including your council's PDC NM URAC.
I'll make you a $100 dollar bet that you won't have the full report out before the upcoming election, for obvious reasons. And I'll gladly pay up if I'm wrong. Nothing like buying a report. Anyone else want to add to the bet?
