The Horsebridge Website

Artist: Richard Bradbury with Andrew Sabin and Doug Brown

This is the first commission to be up and running within the Horsebridge project. The website for the Horsebridge development aims to offer information and document the whole project, and also to act in a way which mirrors the development process itself. The site is therefore created with an overall design and structure (by the artists), but to make its content work, it depends upon the contributions of a variety of people and organisations working together.

There are sections about all aspects of the development, which have been contributed from diverse sources within the development team and also within Whitstable:

• a local publican hosts the three webcams which provide a constant image of the site
• Doug Brown acts as information gatherer to create the image archives and mini slide shows of the old site and the new
• Clague architects have provided a link direct to their site to expand on the architectural design
• We hope to begin incorporating artworks made by other Whitstable based artists which relate to the site

As you move through the website you will see the other features, particularly the news items and the information on the various people involved. When the construction is over and the new buildings become occupied, the website will be handed on as a resource for the new community arts centre - the real core of the development. Hopefully in the next few years, this web address will be directing you to exhibitions, performances and events happening in the heart of the town.
