Let the games begin!
June 6th, 2008
A new piece for Whitstable Biennale 2008
Commissioned by Emma Leach for a weekend of performative works
21-22 June, Whitstable Beach
A stall on Whitstable beach with various games, toys and puzzles. Situated near several thoroughfares, passers-by borrowed games to play, asking for advice on suitability and rules. Cushions were also available to borrow.
A local made an application to designate Whitstable beach as a Village Green, hoping to safeguard it as a place for public use. The application was denied. One of the stipulations for common land is proof that the site has been used for recreation for at least twenty years.
