MIDDLESBROUGH, England—Turner Prize–winning sculptor Anish Kapoor and structural engineer Cecil Balmond unveiled plans today for a series of public artworks entitled the "Tees Valley Giants," according to the Guardian. The giants consist of five huge sculptures to be placed around the Tees Valley area of northeast England — in Middlesbrough, Stockton, Redcar, Hartlepool, and Darlington — over the next ten years.

The project was the brainchild of Joe Docherty, chief executive of Tees Valley Regeneration. It has been in the works for more than four years, and will cost something like £15 million ($30 million), with money coming from the public and private sectors.

The first work to be installed, Temenos, will be located between Middlesbrough's Transporter bridge and the Riverside soccer stadium. The 164-foot-high, 360-foot-long sculpture consisting of a giant pole and two rings connected by steel wire netting will cost around £2.7 million. Work is due to start in the fall, subject to planning permission, and be finished by next summer.

Balmond has explained how he hopes people will react to the art: "It will be a kind of awe, I think. It will be a new landscape."
