Following its arrival in Weston-super-Mare, SEE MONSTER, a decommissioned North Sea platform, underwent its transformation into a large-scale public art installation. However, the rig’s new lease on life has now come to an end and it is expected to be recycled in the UK.
Back in October 2021, the project about reimagining and rehabilitating a retired North Sea industrial structure was unveiled and the town of Weston-super-Mare was selected as one of ten locations across the country to host this flagship, national arts and culture installation . As it reused industrial structures and included renewable energy, the project was expected to spark discussions about using such things in the future.
