WHEE! Seaside Fun

The artwork ‘WHEE!’ has been catching the beachgoers attention over the last couple months! In September 2022, Mooch installed a new artwork on the public toilets outside the Royal Pavilion in Ramsgate. These large, polished stainless steel letters resemble the classic seaside seaside attraction of the “hall of mirrors”. The artwork is a play on words and WHEE! not only represents the squeal of thrill seekers when they are enjoying themselves at the local fun fairs, but they are a cheeky nod to the toilets on which the artwork is placed.
We wanted to encourage the public to interact with the artwork and post their hilarious selfies using #WHEE! and we have had some amazing responses so far: elongated legs, short arms and long faces, the reflections remind us of the fun that the seaside can bring. One Instagram user (@catrinosborne) responded with “I love it, its so fairground which is perfect for Ramsgate”

We have loved seeing everyone’s photo’s and we are excited to see more posts coming through every week. For more information on this project please visit WHEE! on our project page. Please take a look at our social pages on Facebook and Instagram @TheresaMooch.
Get down to Ramsgate seafront, have a play with WHEE! and add your selfie! Don’t forget to use the hashtag #WHEE!
