Comedy Carpet - Blackpool
 Comedy Carpet, Blackpool by Andrew Whale - geograph.org.uk
Said to be the largest work of art in Britain, Comedy Carpet occupies an area of somewhere between 1,800 and 2,200 square meters. Located on Festival Headland, across from Blackpool Tower, the piece acts like a giant quote wall, with punchlines and jokes told by comedians who have performed in Blackpool. Even the quantity of characters used was carefully calculated as part of the art, culminating in 160,000 letters.
The quotes come in a variety of typefaces, each letter carved out of granite and then set into the white concrete for effect. |
