Why Weston?
We organised and invited participation in a day long coach trip to Weston Super Mare to see the ‘Wonders of Weston’ (WOW). WOW is a series of public art commissions along the seafront curated by Bristol-based Situations, and is part of a major redevelopment of an important seaside town in the UK including a new sea defence, the recent opening of the rebuilt pier. We chose Weston, an accessible Somerset destination, for this reason – one that would allow us to see new adventurous public artworks, and through our creative invitations, allow reflection together as a group and individually on public space back in Langport.
