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.
