Richard Wilson – “18 Holes”
18 Holes, 2008. Photograph © Thierry Bal
Title: 18 Holes
Artist: Richard Wilson
Location: Coastal Promenade, below Leas Cliff Hall at sea level
Wilson’s herculean project of cutting, lifting, restoring and reassembling the eighteen weighty concrete slabs is a tribute to the memory of this former popular tourist attraction. Wilson’s three ‘crazy’ beach huts are installed only a few hundred metres away from their original site and alongside the existing rather bunker-like Folkestonian beach huts.
