This Norwegian artist presented her first series of park benches during her 2019 solo show at the Kunsthalle Zurich, where these sculptures created unusual vantage points from which to view her monumental paintings on the walls. Ekblad also conceived and produced a version of these objects for external use. Both furniture and sculpture, each bench offers a choice perspective on the park.
