   This reminds me of a piece at the airport in Sacramento, California.

   I’ve sat on this artwork. It is made of metal and about the most uncomfortable thing I have ever sat on. But it is pretty neat looking. The location of its placement is in the waiting area of the baggage carousels.

   I wonder how many calls regarding unattended bags the Indianapolis airport police responded to when this was first installed.

   It’s amazing! The Weekly World News once had an article about how all of our lost luggage is actually orbiting the earth. Now I can rest assured it wasn’t true. Someone flogged it for making into groovy furniture….

   We have a similar installation by Yoan Capote in downtown Louisville, KY.

   “It explores the experiences of traveling and emigration. When visitors sit on the piece, they look like travelers and emigrants; and when they leave the bench, the action symbolizes someone metaphorically leaving luggage or memories behind. The weight of the piece also alludes to the significance of these experiences in life.”
