Handbook

Walking as Art focuses on the long but little known history of art that engages with walking, as a practice of the artist and as a way of encountering communities and landscapes.  In this course, you will research the use of walking or journeying in modern and contemporary art practice, and develop your own art project in the context of a walking experience.

You will engage with both the urban and natural environment while exploring how the experience of walking transforms perceptions of the environment. The course will allow you to create an itinerant community art project from the material of walking through an environment. You will work in teams to create and present a body of art work for exhibition.

Walking As Art is taught intensively over two weeks, and is often held overseas. Students may need to allow for airfares and accommodation costs and should contact the Faculty for more details.
