The artist Morag Myerscough at the site of Flock of Seagulls Bag of Stolen Chips for the Folkestone Triennial launch on 20th of July 2021, in Folkestone, United Kingdom. Flock of Seagulls Bag of Stolen Chips is a gateway or ‘welcome pavilion’ for the former gasworks site at Ship Street, from where visitors will be able to view the entire site and imagine how it might be developed in the future. Its cylindrical form and its open lattice-work metal construction echo the gasometers that once stood on the site, while its brightly painted panels suggest an altogether more post-industrial atmosphere. The artwork is part of the Creative Folkestone Triennial 2020, The Plot, which sees 27 newly commissioned artworks appearing around the south coast seaside town. The new work builds on the work from previous triennials making Folkestone the biggest urban outdoor contemporary art exhibition in the UK. (photo by Andrew Aitchison / In pictures via Getty Images)
