The Park Bench Reader is an ongoing performance series by the artist Bram Thomas Arnold. Regular Sunday afternoons find Bram reading a classic work of English Literature to passing members of the public. In 1840 Joseph Strutt opened England's first public park, the decade went on to give voice to a whole generation of England's finest authors. The Park Bench Reader seeks to draw these two seemingly unassociated events together again and question the pace of life in a society ever racing forward.
The Park Bench Reader. Volume 2. Sunday 17th February. 2pm.
Read: Russell Hoban's 'Amaryllis night and day'
Start: "The first time I saw her was in a dream, the colours were intense; the air was full of vibrations; everything seemed magnified and slowed down."
End: "Two dreams without Amaryllis. Could do better."
Notes. Sunshine not summer, wrapped in coats. 5 listeners, collective fits of giggling, video camera failure, chocolate digestives.
