| This is not an exhibition about Prestatyn, but about the disturbing poem Sunny Prestatyn and its problematic poet Philip Larkin. It describes a poster of a girl saying “Come to Sunny Prestatyn” and its eventual decline into debauched defacements and erasure on a train station platform. Written 60 years ago, the poem touches on issues still relevant today, such as women’s safety, toxic masculinity, the affects of advertising, and the potentially violent feelings of those left without a voice. Artists include Dominic Allan, Nicola Bealing, Nick Davies, Steven Emmanuel, Rosie Gibbons, Thomas Goddard, Rebecca Gould, Ellie Hoskins, Cinzia Mutigli, Georgia Nielson, Sam Venables and Sue Williams Curated by Nick Davies |
