This year’s Folkestone Triennial, the second of its kind, will see the RCA students set up their own exhibitions within abandoned shop spaces as part of the Creative Foundation’s regeneration scheme in the town.

The scheme aims to purchase, refurbish and manage property in the Creative Quarter of Folkstone, with the hope that if artists move it, the area will in turn attract more artists and businesses.

Alongside this resourceful use of space, 19 international artists have been commissioned to create new works for the festival.

The selected artists have been invited to develop new works for Folkestone’s streets, squares, beaches and historic buildings to create a cutting-edge contemporary art exhibition in the public domain, such as Cornelia Parker’s life-size bronze statue of a female Folkestone resident in the pose of Copenhagen’s famous Little Mermaid.
