A GREAT day around Folkestone today, it was the start of the Triennial and there was tonnes to see. Number one activity was hunting down the Tracey Emin's before they got stolen. She'd cast several bronze sculptures of abandoned baby clothes that she'd found in the street (actually had been given, my bad), and then redistributed the sculptures back in the kinds of places she'd found them. So there's one at the train station, a couple in the park by The Bayle, one down by the beach, and so on. As well as this, there are talking rocks along The Leas - big rocks by some of the benches that talk as you approach them, they read out love letters and things sent during the war, great. Also there were PIRATES and many other street entertainers.
Going to put together a Folkestone art map, in the meantime here's (hopefully) where we went today, and (when the pictures are all uploaded) what we saw.

Aha, I knew my new friends The Guardian would have come up with the goods. Ms Emin said to them:
I just hope they don't get vandalised or stolen. The young people of Folkestone should realise that the Triennial is going to bring in people and money which must be a good thing
Stealing one never even occurred to me.
Oh yeah I saw Mark Wallinger on Rendezvous Street today, and someone who used to be in Hollyoaks down at the Harbour (Jambo's girlfriend from right at the beginning, the one who died). It was star studded. I expect all of these people were at the big party at the Harbour that we could see going on yesterday, but mysteriously did not get invited to.

You might be in luck though, Turner prize winning Mark \"dress up like a bear and wonder about a bit\" Wallinger is on his way to Folkestone for the Triennial.

Rundown resort? How dare they!
Bit of a tongue in cheek story here in the Guardian about the launch of folkestone triennial (is that an art festival every three years?). Particularly hilarious is their attempt to compare Folkestone with Venice towards the end of the article... I recommend ignoring the intro which starts:
To many Folkestone is nothing but the unprepossessing place one once passed through in order to take a ferry to somewhere more glamorous.
and let's concentrate more on things like
... plans to transform Folkestone into a prosperous hub of arts and culture are under way. Yesterday the inaugural Folkestone triennial was announced, a public art project to involve commissions by a blue-chip line-up of artists including Tracey Emin, Mark Wallinger, Nathan Coley, Tacita Dean, Richard Wentworth and Richard Wilson from Britain, and international figures such as Mark Dion and Christian Boltanski.
Richard Wilson? I don't believe it... and who on earth is ex Iron Maiden drummer Thunderstick?
