Skystation

Cultural agency Futurecity is launching an interactive sculptural seating project by Peter Newman as part of
an exhibition of the artist's works in and around the Hayward Gallery.

The Skystation is part of a larger public seating project initiated and curated by Futurecity. The aim is to
develop a constellation of Skystations in 100 locations across the UK and internationally called the 100
places project. This will become a shared public art experience across the whole network. The project will
be linked by a collaborative website. Orders have already been taken for the piece to be placed insitu in
Cambridge.

Peter Newman's Skystation is a circular sculpture, inspired by the form of Le Corbusier's iconic LC4 chaise
longue. The contours of the work are designed to fit the reclining human figure and the work has been
developed to be sited outdoors, to encourage contemplation of the vast expanse of space above and
beyond.
