Ellen Mueller Walking as Artistic Practice

The webpage "Walking as Art and Cultural Practice" by Ellen Mueller explores the interdisciplinary study of walking from artistic, cultural, and geographic perspectives. It presents walking not just as a mode of locomotion but as a creative and performative act that intersects with spatiality, identity, and environment. The site compiles scholarly resources, theoretical frameworks, and case studies that link walking to concepts such as psychogeography, map-making, and embodied experience, highlighting its role in both contemporary art practices and historical cultural rituals. Additionally, the page situates walking within broader discussions about place-making, social interaction, and urban exploration, addressing how walking can serve as a method for engaging critically with social and spatial structures. The content includes examples of artists and practitioners who use walking as a medium, emphasizing its capacity to challenge conventional boundaries of artistic production and spatial awareness. This resource is designed to support research and teaching by providing curated references and conceptual tools related to walking as an artistic and cultural phenomenon.

The Weather Report

The website "beckinevin.wordpress.com" serves as the personal blog and portfolio of Becki Nevin, an artist and educator specializing in walking art and cultural geography. The content features detailed accounts of her site-specific walking projects, installations, and community-based art practices that explore the intersections of landscape, memory, and human movement. Through narrative, photographic documentation, and reflective essays, the site provides insight into how walking functions as both a method of artistic inquiry and a form of cultural engagement. The blog also includes academic reflections, project descriptions, and collaborative artworks, situating Nevin's work within contemporary practices of psychogeography and phenomenological approaches to place. Emphasizing the relational and experiential dimensions of walking, the site highlights how mobility is employed to disrupt conventional spatial perceptions and foster alternative understandings of environment and history. Additionally, some posts document workshops and participatory events, illustrating Nevin’s commitment to integrating community involvement into her practice.
