Walking is a way of locomotion that goes beyond the necessary movement. A way to escape the treadmill that life is quite often. Artists can put their work into perspective while walking. Some artists go a step further and make walking their practice.
A special part of this exhibition is walking past the artworks themselves. No shuffling from one work to another. Traversing the exhibition can be experienced as a walk, a unique, personal experience. An exclusive work of art for you alone, which you take home with you in your memories.
Welcome to the exhibition ‘Artists who walk’. During this ‘walk’ you will meet the various artists.

FROM DUST TO STARDUST, a sensorial walk in deep time
FROM DUST TO STARDUST a sensorial walk in deep time by ienke kastelein, Beatrice Khoumeri and Peter Schreuder Banyoles, July 5, 17.30 – 20.00 – 2024 Part of the Walking Art and Relational Geographies Conference Girona – Banyoles 2024 During the Walking Art and Relational Geographies Encounters in Girona and Banyoles scientist Beatrice Khoumeri and artists Peter Schreuder and Ienke Kastelein collaborated in developing a walk that combines perspectives of art and science on time and planetary existence. The performative walk culminated in a collective creation with participants joining in an encounter with a sensorial approach to whirling time and the crust of the earth. Banyoles, July 5, 17.30 – 20.00 – 2024 After an introduction to open up awareness of our bodies and minds to the nature of time we set out for a silent walk from the Plaza Major in Banyoles passing by the Lake to the Estunes de Banyoles and back. Throughout this 4.6 km walk – equaling the story of planet Earth from its formation approximately 4.6 billion years ago to the present day 1 – we were guided by Beatrice’s voice crossing different imaginary landscapes — mineral, vegetal, urban, and rural—venturing to Earth’s farthest reaches, immersing ourselves in the elements that shape our universe, from soil and rivers to the atmosphere and beyond while being fully present in the sensorial reality of the actual landscape.
