The Folkestone Triennial<\/a> is one of the most ambitious public art projects presented in the UK. It takes place 30th August \u2013 2nd November 2014, open daily 10am-5pm. The theme of this year’s Triennial is “Lookout”.<\/p>\n

Located in the seaside town of Folkestone on the south-east coast of England, invited artists utilise public spaces to create work that reflects issues affecting both the town and the wider world. Artists commissioned to take part in previous Triennials include Cornelia Parker, Tracey Emin, Jeremy Deller, Martin Creed and Richard Wilson.<\/p>\n

The Folkestone Triennial takes place every three years, this year being the third time, and is one of the five key projects of the Creative Foundation, an independent visionary arts charity dedicated to enabling the regeneration of Folkestone through creative activity. The five projects are: Folkestone Creative Quarter<\/a>, Folkestone Quarterhouse<\/a>, Folkestone Triennial<\/a>, Folkestone Book Festival<\/a> and Folkestone Artworks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was my first time in Folkestone when I went for the Triennial on Oct 8th, and so I joined a walking tour led by MA Curation student Lauren Holmes. In spite of not being properly prepared for the rain that fell during the early part of the tour, I really enjoyed both the town and the art. Many of the artworks are visible from the street, but you get a better view if you go during opening hours. Since much of the art is outdoors it is mostly sculpture and sculptural installation, much of it site specific.<\/p>\n

We started on the walking tour at the harbour end of Tontine Street, at the Triennial visitor’s centre in the Creative Quarter. It was about three hours and as you follow along with the photos I took you can see that the weather changed a few times! It was not enough time to see everything, so I will be going back in a couple of weeks time to see more!<\/p>\n

The following images are in the order of our walking tour.<\/p>\n
