  • Artist Jyll Bradley with her installation Green/Light part of the Folkestone Triennial launch on 20th of July 2021, in Folkestone, United Kingdom. For Folkestone Triennial 2014, Bradley presented Green/Light (for M.R.), a major sculptural light installation created for the former gasworks site on the junction of Ship Street and Foord Road North, Folkestone. Now derelict, the site was once a hub of energy and the place where light was first generated for the town. The creation of the installation was an intense personal journey for Bradley, who was born in Folkestone in the same year that the gasworks were decommissioned, but has lived her adult life as a successful artist in London. Since its creation, Green/Light (For M.R.) has become a highly acclaimed work and much-loved local beacon. Its reflective, exciting presence acts as a powerful catalyst for conversations on the future of the gasworks. 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)

  • Janus’ Fortress: Folkestone by Pilar Quinteros is a monumental sculptural head with two faces, representing Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions, who was often associated with thresholds – and so also with a present poised between the past and the future on 20th of July 2021, in Folkestone, United Kingdom. The sculpture is located high up on the East Cliff, overlooking Folkestone’s harbour, and with its two faces is able to look both towards the European mainland and towards England, connecting them, as Folkestone has always done whether as a fortress or a port. It is made of chalk and plaster, and will gradually erode and disintegrate. The artist’s intention was to make a kind of anti-monument, imposing in scale but ephemeral and vulnerable. Its disintegration also mirrors (and reflects on) the gradual erosion of the chalk cliffs and coastline. The white cliffs of Dover are sometimes referred to as the fortress walls of England. 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)

  • Fortune Here, by artist genuinefake on 20th of July 2021, in Folkestone, United Kingdom. Taking its inspiration from the Rotunda amusement arcades that drew crowds to the beach until the 1990s, FORTUNE HERE (for Urban Room Folkestone) is a pavilion and visitor experience located near the site of the now demolished domed buildings from which the Rotunda got its name. The pavilion contains themed games - and a course for crazy golf - addressing significant contemporary topics that affect both local residents and Europe’s wider population.

  • Climate Emergency Services by artist Mike Stubbs  is a ‘conflicted’ vehicle and artwork, aiming to evoke and challenge our love / hate relationship with motor vehicles in a period becoming characterised by our increasing fear of climate change on 20th of July 2021, in Folkestone, United Kingdom.  The conflicted quality of the artwork’s message is condensed into the contract between the exterior and interior of the vehicle.Outside, the bodywork references the high temperature culture of car modification for ‘high performance’ and the linkage between the conspicuous consumption of oil and ‘the apocalyptic’. Inside, the cabin is designed to evoke a science laboratory that might be plotting the environmental indicators triggered by climate change, and a place of cool optimism in which the thinking needed to survive that climate change can be pursued.

  • Turner Prize nominated Lubaina Himid MBE during the construction of her Jelly Mould Pavilion on Folkestone’s sea front as part of the 2017 Folkestone Triennial. Folkestone, Kent. Lubaina Himid created a Jelly Mould Pavilion on Folkestone’s sea front, on the former ‘Rotunda’ site of the town’s fun fair, Lido and amusement park where the sugar of candy floss and toffee apples fuelled summer visitors. The pavilion’s colourful decoration in the artist’s signature patterning will serve as a reminder of the lost amusement park, as well as providing a beautiful shelter at the edge of the town to rest, look out to sea, and think about the role of sugar in Britain’s history.
