That's the thinking behind this bubble-like "sculpture", which has popped up outside the South Bank's Hayward Gallery . Dubbed the Skystation, and created by artist Peter Newman, it encourages people to relax and contemplate the sky. The hope is to install 100 of the "seats" across London and the UK. Newman says: "It offers a rare opportunity to stop for a minute, lie back and enjoy the sense of space above." It's part of an exhibition of his works in and around the Hayward from tomorrow to 14 September.
