The work is a 1:1 scale reproduction in black patinated bronze of the chair that Toronto-based

Canadian pianist Glenn Gould (1932-1982) used for all his performances. The chair in question is

very unusual; it is low, was made by Gould's father and apparently totally unsuitable for its

purpose. The original chair is preserved at The National Art Center in Ottawa. In the back of the

chair, a rolled-up newspaper is tucked into the top, the newspaper is to be replaced each day

with the current day's newspaper so that the sculpture is different each day than it was the day

before.
