Design
Designed by Gordon Young and Why Not Associates as a tribute for Blackpool Tower in the U.K. (home to hundreds of comedic entertainers of the years), Comedy Carpet is 5,643 square feet of jokes, monologues, and one-liners. That’s 180,000 characters, all carved into Indian granite and set inside the installation’s true pièce de résistance: specially formulated, super bright white concrete.
