Satellite Projects

CD:EK

The Satellite Programme 2010 was curated by Kate Phillimore, made possible through a grant from CD:EK, Curatorial Development East Kent.

There's always a bus from London to Whitstable, to the Biennale, and back to London the same evening.

The 2010 Whitstable Biennale Satellite Programmes i

was a showcase of artists from Whitstable and East Kent - and from all over the UK. Over seventy-five projects and events took place during the 2010 Biennale. The works encompassed a broad range of artistic practices - from a parade of people making birdcalls to an exhibition in a caravan that changed daily; from a disorientating audio tour of Whitstable which guided you by the sounds of Marrakech, to the return of the 'guerilla knitters'.

All of the participating projects took Whitstable as their starting point, but leapt off to follow entirely different trajectories. There were two weeks of rich, diverse and sometimes absurd experiences which highlighted Whitstable as an inspirational location for artists at all points in their careers to share new ideas.
