Pablo Reinoso
Promenade Chambord, 2022
Presented by Waddington Custot

Pablo Reinoso’s acclaimed ‘Spaghetti Bench’ series makes its presence in Singapore in an installation titled ‘Promenade Chambord’. In this series, the ubiquitous yet anonymous public bench is adapted and transformed into an object of intrigue. By pushing the limits of the bench’s function, the furniture grows its own branches and stretches out into whimsical, playful curls of spaghetti. The installation challenges and extends the notion of an object’s functionality, and invites viewers to reflect on the relationship between furniture and design.

Reinoso’s bench sculptures have been installed in numerous public locations, including beside the River Thames in London, along the Quai Gillet in Lyon and on the south terrace of the Elysée Palace in Paris. The artist’s work is held in public collections worldwide, including Société des Amis du MNAM, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Fonds national d’art contemporain, Paris; Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, Argentina and Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo, Brazil.
