Walk On: From Richard Long To Janet Cardiff. 40 Years Of Art Walking
鈥榃alk On: From Richard Long to Janet Cardiff 鈥� 40 Years of Art Walking鈥� gives an insight into the recent art practice of nearly 40 artists. Several are internationally acclaimed. Others are bright new talents. All have made new work simply by taking a journey on foot.
A number of the featured artists have crossed countries and continents, making epic journeys along historic sites, or leaving traces of their movements on the land. Others have explored the possibilities of walking and how the way we walk shows the world who we are. For some, the walk itself is the artwork. Anything else is simply evidence or documentation captured in the photographs, objects or texts from their journeys.
Regardless of landscape or location, during the last four decades these 鈥榚xplorers鈥� have made their mark. 鈥榃alk On鈥� shows that from land art to conceptual art and from street photography to film, much of the important art of our time has been created through an act of walking.
