Grand Tour 2026: Twelve Years Walking

Around 2011, the Nau Côclea Contemporary Art Centre entered a moment of crisis, and so did I. It was not only a question of funding. I was also concerned with questions of format and with the relationship between audiences, artists and artworks, a relationship too often reduced to mere consumption. At the centre, people moved

The Walking Assembly 2026

The Walking Assembly 2026 (9–13 May 2026) is a nomadic, field-based gathering in Catalonia for artists, researchers, educators, and collectives exploring walking as embodied, relational, and ecological knowledge. Moving from conference to assembly, it proposes learning without teaching, where knowledge emerges through shared walking, presence, and collective experience. From Salt to Albanyà and along the Muga River, the Assembly foregrounds water, movement, attention, walking and being together in place as pedagogical forces.

Viv Corringham

VIV CORRINGHAM (voice, electronics, field recordings) is a US based British vocalist and sound artist, who has been described as “a vital force in improvised music since the late 1970s” (Corey Mwamba, BBC Radio 3) and “a vocalist of stunning virtuosity” (Louise Gray, The Wire). She makes concerts, soundwalks, workshops and installations. Her practice explores relations between voice, place and walking, responding with sung improvisations to both natural and urban soundscapes. Corringham has received international recognition and awards including two McKnight Composer Fellowships through the American Composers Forum. She is a certified facilitator of Deep Listening, having played and studied with composer Pauline Oliveros. In 2024 this practice took her to Mexico, Spain, Germany and the Listening Academy in Hong Kong. Notable live performances have occurred in festivals at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, Hong Kong Arts Centre, Fonoteca Nacional de Mexico, Issue Project Room New York and Tempo Reale Florence. Her recent album “Soundwalkscapes” (Vol. 1: January to June) on Flaming Pines label (Bandcamp’s Best Field Recordings 2024) has been well received. The Wire wrote that “Corringham voices the depth of place.” Her definitive contribution to sound art practice is the 20 year ongoing “Shadow-walks”, which create layers of time and space, combining recordings from shared and solo walks along the same path with her improvised sung response. They have occurred in 18 countries, are taught in many sound art classes and have been the focus of articles in books and publications.
