'...for boats catching fish like journalists catch stories, for asylum seekers looking for haven - a work for Whitstable Harbour.'
In June 2006 a collection of newspapers was gathered that simply coincided with the Biennale. People usually collect newspapers because of a royal celebration or a moon landing. This will become an archive of a random moment in time, rather than for reasons of historical significance.
Harbours right around the British mainland are points of entry and exit from the UK, they delineate between land and sea. There is a slow evolution from industrial use to leisure and tourism.
Stories from the newspapers were read out on the first three Sundays in June at 2.30 pm at Whitstable Harbour.
Anna Best has created major projects for a wide range of contexts, including 'The Wedding Project' for Tate Modern's opening programme, 'Visionhire' in Lambeth Walk for Beaconsfield and 'Phil' with Danielle Arnaud and Gasworks Gallery. For more details, visit www.annabest.info
