A New Way of Walking

7 Jun-24 Aug 2018

Overview

The exhibition brings together an eclectic mix of artists and works all united by an interest in the impact of the surrounding environment on the individual. In the 1950’s, the theorist Guy Debord defined the term psychogeography to represent enquiries into the impact of geographical location upon the emotions and behaviour of conscious beings. There is an element of chance, discovery and adventure involved in Debord’s structure for psychogeography - the notion that even the most familiar of places still withhold surprises, the uncovering of which offers a greater understanding of personal ontologies.
