>>3240031I saw "The Last Resort" when it was first shown in Liverpool (The Open Eye Gallery, I think). At first I thought it was just a load of snapshits of New Brighton. I ended up spending ages looking at them.
Parr explained that, “At the time, when I first showed it in Liverpool, no one batted an eyelid because everyone knew what New Brighton was like. And then when I showed them in London [at The Serpentine Gallery], there was all kinds of responses; people were somewhat shocked.”
