SD3032 : Chris Knight's Desire
taken 11 years ago, near to South Shore, Blackpool, England
Chris Knight's Desire
One of the exhibits on the Great Promenade Show, Desire by Chris Knight is an abstract sculpture 8m high, contrasting rusty corten steel with shiny stainless steel spikes, inspired by the town's reputation as a destination for 'dirty weekends', and its hidden 'fetish scene'. It casts the shadow of a spiky heart on the promenade.
The Great Promenade Show
A complete reconstruction of Blackpool's South Promenade incorporated a major series of new public art works commissioned by Blackpool Borough Council, and described by them as "an outdoor gallery of contemporary art". Since 2001, ten large-scale permanent works have been installed at special viewing points along the well-designed new 2km walkway. Additional information can be found at Archive Link
Update 2023: The trail is now being marketed as The South Promenade Art Trail. See LiveBlackpool for more information: Link
