Nicholas Luard, The Field of the Star, and Alicia Elliott, A Mind Spread Out On the Ground
When the pandemic began, I began finding it difficult to finish books. I would start reading something and then get distracted and put it aside. I just didn’t have the concentration to read anything longer than an article in The Guardian or The New Yorker. It was surprising, and worrying, and I suddenly found myself wondering if […]

Walking the Pipe with Kate Green
Following an arbitrary line is a tried and tested technique for the curious walker. The landscape and its contents will reveal themselves in a sequence determined by your line. Pick a start, an end and draw line between them. Follow that line and keep you eyes and ears open. Kate Green spent the last year […]

Sara’s Last Steps
In May I should have been walking with co-artist Lorna Brunstein developing a programme of work for installation at the Lake District Holocaust Project. Sara's Last Steps would have taken place during a weekend of events commemorating the arrival of a group of Jewish child refugees to a location near Windermere in 1945. The weekend included a planned reunion of those still living and able to travel plus their families and descendants. Sadly the virus has put paid to that and the proj [...]
Mapping Stirchley
Everyone currently involved in Walkspace lives in the Birmingham suburb of Stirchley and the lockdown has made us keenly aware of our immediate surroundings. Walking the same routes again and again means we're noticing things for the first time and figuring out new routes to perambulate along. So we've started mapping things-of-note. It's currently just […]
Walking West, Again
It’s a breezy, cool, sunny day and I’m walking towards 13th Avenue. i notice a miniature Adirondack chair at the foot of an elm tree next to the sidewalk, and I’m reminded of the tiny chairs at the beginning of The Friendly Giant. Down the street, a lawn is entirely occupied by large rhubarb plants; […]
Walking Weird Britain
Weird Walk is a zine in the true sense of the word. Sure, it's an A5 publication of 40-odd pages that you get in the post, but it's also a collection words and pictures about a thing that the authors are obsessed with and which they need to put in a package to send into […]
Un paysagiste sonore
Translate this page Un paysagiste sonore est un homme à l’oreille curieuse, qui puise dans le paysage de la matière sonore, pour la ré-agencer et la réinstaller parfois, la repenser, souvent dans des gestes collectifs. Il revisite ainsi de nombreux espaces inouïs, des jardins sonores à parcourir, des formes de musées auriculaires vivants, à … Continuer à lire ... "Un paysagiste sonore"
Walking to the Western Edge of the City and Back
It’s a cool Sunday afternoon. I smell woodsmoke as I begin my walk. A family riding their bicycles on the sidewalk forces me into the street. I stop to admire tulips in bloom beside a mailbox. The same gardener has placed red flowers in an old, broken wheelbarrow. I wonder if they are impatiens—Christine has […]

Ein Querschnitt ortsspezifischer Hörspaziergänge Verborgenes lauert in unseren Städten. Vergangene Epochen zeigen ihre Spuren. Gebäude, Straßen und Plätze haben ihre Geschichten. Besitz- und Aneignungskämpfe, Gentrifizierung, aber auch utopisches Potential schlummern in den Stadtlandschaften. Und audio walks legen manches davon frei. In immer mehr ortsspezifischen Hörspaziergängen zeigen Künstlerinnen und Künstler ihre Sicht auf das, was uns …
