The Folkestone Triennial is a three yearly exhibition of art works by world renowned artists specially commissioned by the curator for the public spaces of Folkestone. Selected artists respond to the invitation with proposals for artworks that engage with the Kent coastal town's history, people, culture and built environment. The 2014 edition, Lookout, aims to bring the wider world to Folkestone's shores, while highlighting at the same time its position as a gateway and the isolation of being situated on the edge of Britain. The artworks relate directly to the town and its socio-economic and cultural history, as well as exploring universal issues. Some commissions rejuvenate existing sites, others create new environments in the town, involving and collaborating with the local communities, and address aspects of our daily lives that affect people on a global scale, such as climate change, environment, sustainability, technology and communication.
