HOW TO MAKE ME HAPPY BENCH....

SEND ME A PHOTO LIKE THIS, WITH A MESSAGE LIKE THIS...

I saw this bench by the river in Nelson, on the South Island of New Zealand, the other day and thought of you.

Thanks Deborah!

ART BENCH

Although I'm involved myself in the Re:Collections exhibition in Tunbridge Wells, there's so much to see - GO! - that I only noticed this bench in Ellen Montelius's work the other day.

Portable benches

Designed by Marlon Darbeau, and seen in the wonderfully named MADMuseum in New York. More on the project here

BENCH ON THE WALLS...

THIS IS NOT A BENCH

Musical Bench

This bench was presented in the year the society apparently performed Carousel. I wonder if they would have preferred horses to benches...

A hessian covered bench that is facsimile from one used in Anthony Caro's first solo exhibition. Love how the size and shape of this one has become a space in itself.



A bench seen through a Barbara Hepworth public space sculpture.



And a 'proper' gallery bench from one of the less-visited galleries upstairs.
