Perceval, a life-sized sculpture by British artist Sarah Lucas, will be exhibited at Snape from January 2010.

A replica of a popular knick-knack that adorns many mantelpieces, the sculpture is a painted bronze Shire horse pulling a cart, overflowing with two giant marrows that have been cast in cement. It stands 7.5 feet tall by 13 feel long, and weighs 5 tons.

Sarah Lucas was born in 1962 and lives and works in Suffolk and London. She studied at London College of Printmaking and Goldsmith’s College.

Skystation by Peter Newman

Skystation is a unique public sculptural seating project resulting from an innovative interdisciplinary collaboration between artist Peter Newman and cultural agency Futurecity.

Inspired by Le Corbusier’s LC4 Chaise Longue, the Skystation is a circular outdoor seat with contours intended to fit the human form.

‘Skystation offers a rare opportunity ... to stop for a minute, lie back and enjoy the sense of space above. The seat makes conversations between strangers almost inevitable.’ Peter Newman
