WALK ON : 40 Years of Art Walking

27 Mar-5 May 2013

Overview

‘Walk On’ brings together a diverse group of artists who undertake journeys on foot as a means to creating work. The act of walking can serve many different purposes – negotiating everyday life, as a means to an end, or purely as an exercise to free up our imagination. ‘Walk On’ brings together artists who make works by undertaking a journey on foot, and this exhibition shows how walking has been the inspiration for artists over decades. Whether making a mark on the landscape itself or mapping and tracing daily journeys, the works in the exhibition share a common and simple starting point – the act of taking a walk. EVENTS: Saturday 27 April at 2pm – Exhibition Tour (free) Saturday 4 & Sunday 5 May, 12-3pm - 'The Long Walk Home' with Simon Pope
