A weathered public bench was removed, restored off-site and fitted with brass plaques. It was then displayed (via looking through a peep hole) on a steep, inaccessible slope at the back of Turners Warehouse, Newlyn. This disused fish processing factory hosted the artist led show entitled ‘Suspended Sentences’ curated by Jesse Leroy Smith and Mark Spray.
The bench was returned to its original site two weeks later. This was a collaborative project with James Hankey.

Opere realizzata in collaborazione con James Hankey in occasione della mostra ‘Suspended Sentences’ curata da Jesse Leroy Smith e Mark Spray presso la Turners Warehouse a Newlyn (Cornovaglia,UK) prima che l’edificio venisse abbattuto.
Una panchina, prelevata irregolarmente da un parco, restaurata e sulla quale erano state poste targhe di ottone con la scritta “NOI ABBIAMO SCELTO (DI ESSERE) QUI”, è stata collocata su una ripida pendenza alle spalle dell’edifico. L’opera era visibile solo attraverso uno spioncino ricavato sulla una delle finestre dell’edificio.
La panchina, provvista ancora di targhe, è stata restituita una notte due settimane dopo.
